With this, they had come up the staircase and along a narrow passage leading down between a dozen or so of small bedrooms on either side, for the Green Cottage also had run out its addition of two stories since summer guests had become many and importunate, and stood now where three open doors, one at the right and two at the left, invited their entrance upon what was to be their own especial territory for the next two months.
"I have watched them," the mother admitted. "They are as quick as as mill-workers!" "Well," pursued Diantha, "they spend three hours on dishes and tables, and seven on cleaning. The bedrooms take 280 minutes; that's nearly five hours. The other two are for the bath rooms, halls, stairs, downstairs windows, and so on. That's all right.
But the little square in the Lower town was the chief object of his thoughts; he imagined how he could improve his house: he dreamed of a new front, new bedrooms, a salon, a billiard-room, a dining-room, and the kitchen garden out of which he would make an English pleasure-ground, with lawns, grottos, fountains, and statuary.
Kate gave it; and then, as if the movement had filled her with a panic, she darted out of the room, and flew up to the bedrooms, crying out, "Aunt Barbara, Aunt Jane is crying so terribly!" "She will have one of her attacks! Oh!" began Lady Barbara, catching up a bottle of salvolatile. "Had we not better leave her and Giles to one another?" said the tones that Kate liked so much.
I assure you, in Horse-Show Week, Bawn, people are glad to sleep anywhere. Even the bathrooms of houses and hotels are turned into bedrooms." "I could not imagine a greater crowd than this," said I, for which she laughed at me, again calling me a country mouse.
On the narrow leaden roof, which ran along past the bedrooms, and which was rather less, I should think, than three feet below the sills of the window, a row of flower-pots was ranged, with wide intervals between each pot the whole being protected from falling in high winds by an ornamental iron railing along the edge of the roof.
The case of coprolagnia communicated to me is that of a married man, normal in all other respects, intellectually brilliant and filling successfully a very responsible position. When a child the women of his household were always indifferent as to his presence in their bedrooms, and would satisfy all natural calls without reserve before him. He would dream of this with erections.
Under the ground-floor some of the inmates suspected that there were vaults, as at two or three spots a hollow sound on stamping hard was elicited, but as there was no apparent way down, the captain had not thought it worth while to break up the pavement to examine them. The dining-room, kitchen, some offices and bedrooms were in the newer part of the structure.
The bedrooms were small, and insufficiently, nay, shabbily furnished; but the floors were spotless ah! poor Johanna! and the sheets, though patched and darned to the last extremity, were white and whole. Nothing was dirty, nothing untidy. There was no attempt at picturesque poverty for whatever novelists may say, poverty can not be picturesque; but all things were decent and in order.
The guests that wine overcame were carried to bedrooms. When they awoke, there staring at them were tigers and leopards tame, of course; but some of the guests were stupid enough not to know it, and died of fright.
