I take it there is a quaint side-table or two lost midway of the wall, and that an old woodcut picture of the Most Noble City of Venice hangs over each.
Dolly's eyes, travelling round the assemblage with complacent indifference, rested at last on the side-table where the subject of Euphemia's remarks sat. He really was an eligible Philistine, it seemed, despite Griffith's unflattering description of him. He was a long-limbed, graceful man, with an aquiline face and superb eyes, which at this moment were resting complacently upon Dolly herself.
On a small side-table and of course under such circumstances each article must be sizable stood a sewing machine, in the corner was a bedstead with exquisitely clean bedding, in another a tiny cooking stove. Vases of flowers, framed pictures and ornamental quicksilver balls had been found place for, this bargewoman's home aptly illustrating Shakespeare's adage "Order gives all things view."
So he drove away in the rain, laughing over his own little joke; and so we got rid of our dinner company. The next thing to tell is the story of the night. When the last of the guests had driven away, I went back into the inner hall and found Samuel at the side-table, presiding over the brandy and soda-water. My lady and Miss Rachel came out of the drawing-room, followed by the two gentlemen. Mr.
Not seeing the force of this reasoning, I soon separated myself from them, and secured a corner at a side-table.
Chris looked tranquilly round the room, at the little square table in the centre, the four chairs drawn close to it, with their brocade panels stained and well-worn showing at the back, the dark ceiling, the piece of tapestry that hung over the side-table between the doors it was a martial scene, faded and discoloured, with ghostly bare-legged knights on fat prancing horses all in inextricable conflict, a great battleaxe stood out against the dusky foliage of an autumn tree; and a stag with his fore feet in the air, ramped in the foreground, looking over his shoulder.
She rose slowly from her chair, and took up from the side-table, on which Max had placed it, the shabby black cape. "Oh, you needn't be in such a hurry," said Max. "I dare say he'll be a great deal more than the ten minutes he said he should take." It was her action which had recalled Dudley to his mind.
The gasalier is bronze instead of glass. The real living-room of the house is the dining-room, which is therefore the best furnished, and on a tapestry carpet are a leather couch, six balloon-back carved chairs, two easy-chairs, a chiffonier, a side-table, and a cheap chimney-glass.
I think people at home would be amused with the contents of our sitting-room, which at present has to be kitchen and larder. On a side-table are a ham in pickle, a goose, butter and eggs; on the fire an array of pots, and around it clothes airing for the Sabbath. The fact is the kitchen stove-pipe has collapsed. Repetto is trying to make a new piping out of oil drums.
Clement did not answer this question; but he got up and took his hat from a side-table near the door. "I'm uneasy about her absence too, mother," he said, "I'll go and look for her." He was leaving the room, but his mother called to him. "Clement!" she cried, "you surely won't go out without your greatcoat upon such a bitter night as this, too!" But Mr.
