There are plenty of drawing-rooms, sitting-rooms, bed-rooms, and offices; a small gallery of very indifferent paintings, and a kitchen, with an excellent kitchen-range, and patent boilers of every shape.
"How could I have been such an ass as not to think of it long ago?" said Beck, as he sent a nearly new quid into the sea. "Of course, it was as plain as a pikestaff. Here we are with all these dogs, this fine 'observation house, with its big kitchen-range and shiny cloth on the table, and everything else. Any fool might have seen what it meant."
"If you please," he said, "I've come to say that I'd rather you gave Nancy the kitchen-range I mean, whatever she chooses for her birthday." "Then you've forgiven her?" asked Miss Unity excitedly. "Yes," said David. "Good-night, because it's bed-time. Nurse said I was to go back directly."
There were six good-sized rooms: drawing-room, dining-room, two bedrooms, nursery, and kitchen the last, perhaps, the most fascinating of all, with its little kitchen-range, its rows of brightly shining pots and pans, some black, some tin, and some copper; its dresser and shelves, and charming dinner service, and ever so many other things it would take me a very long time to describe.
One lantern Two long clothesline supporters A towel-rack that opened like a fan A skein of clothesline A small kitchen-range shovel Two boxes filled with canned goods One box filled with loose edibles One ice cream freezer "Didn't you bring a cow?" Townsend asked. "We can never make ice cream without cream." "We're in reach of the mainland, aren't we?" Pee-wee retorted thunderously.
Sandy went down to the basement, and thought himself particularly knowing in poking his nose into corners, in examining the construction of the kitchen-range, and expecting a copper for washing purposes to be put up in the scullery. Upstairs he selected a large and bright room, the windows of which commanded a peep of distant country.
At a long low table sat nearly twenty children, with dolls of every size and complexion, cradles, baby-wagons, changes of clothing for the dolls, beds, a tiny kitchen-range, with furniture, and every other accessory to doll life. The bathing is a department by itself. Every child is bathed, as a rule, when it is received.
He need not be nervous on this point. I, too, am rather anxious and eager to see my house my house, if you please! I, who have never hitherto possessed any larger residence than a doll's house, whose whole front wall opened at once, giving one an improbably simultaneous view of kitchen-range, best four-poster, and drawing-room chairs.
Three days after this was Nancy's birthday, and although the kitchen-range did not appear she hopped and skipped and looked so brimful of delight that David could not help asking: "What are you so pleased about?" "Come with me," was Nancy's reply, "and I'll show you Miss Unity's birthday present. It's the best of all." She hurried David into the garden, and up to the pig-sty empty no longer!
I was only too happy to enjoy the luxury of a real bedchamber, in place of the parlor floor which I had occupied as such for more than two months. It is true that our culinary arrangements were still upon no greatly improved plan. The clay chimney was not of sufficient strength to hold the trammel and pot-hooks, which at that day had not been superseded by the cooking-stove and kitchen-range.
