How does Elizabeth Peters use imagery in Borrower of the Night?

Examples of Imagery:

"I was caught by the sheer romance of it. Hidden treasures—lost masterpieces—castles—jewels—and those beautiful melancholy faces only Riemenschneider could carve." Chapter 1, p. 30.

"I had really seen it—a tall figure, cloaked and hooded, wearing boots that rang metallically on the stone floor—and carrying in its arms the white-robed figure of a woman." Chapter 11, p. 218.
