Lord Bob was serenely lounging on a broad oaken bench, his back to the sun, reading from some musty-backed book. "Oh, won't you let me go out in the sun for just a little while?" she cried, imploringly.
Here are a suite of rooms, extending along the whole front, in which are newspapers from all parts of the world, materials and tables for writing, and all kinds of couches, divans, &c., for lounging.
