The body in the house had made him uncomfortable: in life the poor woman had been all that was kind and gentle; and yet, when she lay upstairs in her bed-room, cold and stark, it seemed as though she cast upon the survivors a baleful influence. The thought horrified Philip. He found himself alone for a minute or two in the dining-room with the churchwarden.
There was another great struggle at the door of the palace, but it was forced open with a crowbar, while shouts rang out 'No King and no Bishops! A fire was made in the dining-room with chairs and tables, and live coals were put into the beds, while the plunder went on. They next attacked the Cathedral, intending to burn that likewise, but two brave gentlemen, Mr. Ralph and Mr.
"You're wanted. There's a party of ten just come in. Hurry up, can't yer?" Robert put down his plates and went into the dining-room with the wine list. His table-napkin he carried neatly folded over one arm. And there was Francey Wilmot. She had other people with her, but he saw her first. He could not have mistaken her. Of course, she had changed.
We had ascended the kitchen stair and entered the suite of rooms upon the first floor. One was a dining-room, severely furnished and containing nothing of interest. A second was a bedroom, which also drew blank. The remaining room appeared more promising, and my companion settled down to a systematic examination. It was littered with books and papers, and was evidently used as a study.
The ball did not begin until ten, to give the young ladies time to finish their dining-room duties and dress. Kirtley went to a café and watched the billiards until after dark, then slipped out to Villa Elsa, jumped into his evening clothes, and slipped away again. He had seen the royalty dance. Now he would see the common people. This bustling about was cheering. He was glad to go.
Then he addressed the hall-porter. "By-the-bye, Charles," he inquired, "if you ask a non-member to dinner, you have to dine in the strangers' room, I suppose?" "Certainly, sir," the man replied. "It is just at the back of the general dining-room." "I suppose an ordinary member couldn't dine in there alone?" "It is not customary, sir." Surgeon-Major Thomson made his way to the telephone booth.
And in Queen's County shots have been fired through a dining-room window now, what else? I am telling you a lot; I don't often remember what is in the paper. No end of hayricks were burnt last week, and some cattle have had their tails cut off, and a great many people have been beaten. Lord Dungory says he doesn't know how it will all end unless the Government bring in a Coercion Act.
And if nobody else will dance with me, Kent will take all the dances." Old Lizzie followed in. She looked sharply at Lydia, then said, "You folks come out in the dining-room and let Lydia have a little nap." "No, I guess I'll go home," Margery answered, "Mother's not very well to-day." "I'll take you along in my chug-chug."
We had Emilio as a guest at our midday meal that day quite a different Emilio from the pinched little fellow of thirteen years before. He glanced round the old dining-room. "Here where I sit dat first night!" he cried, laughing like a boy. "Big old clock right over there, Tomaso dis side of me, and young, kind, pretty girl on other side.
Heredith had been shot with Nepcote's revolver, but it was not the deliberately deadened sound of that slight weapon which had startled the guests in the dining-room on the night of the murder. The report they had heard was made by the heavier pistol in front of him. It was a ruse of terrifying simplicity but diabolical ingenuity.
