Optical and near-mid-infrared reverberation mapping data obtained at Universit{a}tssternwarte Bochum in Chile and with the Spitzer Space Telescope allow us to explore the geometry of both the H$alpha$ BLR and the dust torus for the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy WPVS,48. On average, the H$alpha$ variations lag the blue AGN continuum by about 18 days, while the dust emission variations lag by 70 days in the J+K and by 90 days in the L+M bands. The IR echoes are sharp, while the H$alpha$ echo is smeared. This together favours a bowl-shaped toroidal geometry where the dust sublimation radius is defined by a bowl surface, which is virtually aligned with a single iso-delay surface, thus leading to the sharp IR echoes. The BLR clouds, however, are located inside the bowl and spread over a range of iso-delay surfaces, leading to a smeared echo.
