The raised curtain revealed a ledge of six-foot width.

It is not the only moment when the curtains of experimental style part to reveal a clear, durable truth.

In the same instant, a shimmering curtain of light revealed the cause of the weird sensation.

The rising curtain revealed a luxurious living room.

The curtain billowed and opened, revealing an old door behind it.

Krasta blinked at the bright lights the curtains revealed.

The open curtains of the French windows revealed the snow-covered garden and trees.

That smile doesn't fade when the curtain rises just a foot or so to reveal several dozen sets of legs tapping to beat the band.

As the lights dimmed the curtains would reveal the massive curved screen.
