The room usually occupied by Miss M., and where we found her on the evening of our arrival, is rather small and lighted by two large windows. The walls of this room were also decorated with prints and pictures, and on the mantle-shelf were some models in terra cottia of Italian groups. On a circular table lay casts, medallions, and some very choice water-colour drawings.
Manderson's room, where he had still less. I hope it may be possible to reproduce these prints for publication with this despatch. At nine o'clock I was back in my room at the hotel and sitting down to begin this manuscript. I had my story complete.
