"The house had been built for a hôtel garni; that is, a house with furnished rooms or apartments, something like a tenement-house in your country.

Crookshank up a ladder into the fort, and lay her on a table; but happily Mr. Chambers arrived that night from Banting, and furnished a curtain as a screen, and pillows from his boat to make a more comfortable couch.
