At the table were placed three arm-chairs, with high-carved oak backs; on the wall behind them hung a full-length, brightly-coloured portrait of the Emperor in uniform and ribbon, with one foot in advance, and holding a sword. In the right corner hung a case, with an image of Christ crowned with thorns, and beneath it stood a lectern, and on the same side the prosecuting attorney's desk.
Lutchkov for the first moment gazed at her in perplexity, then he carelessly took off his sword, threw his hat on the floor, picked his way awkwardly among the arm-chairs, took Masha by the hand, and went round the circle, with no capering up and down nor stamping, as it were unwillingly performing an unpleasant duty.... Masha's heart beat violently. 'Why don't you dance? she asked him at last.
"I do like seeing this younger generation up against the rotten conventions of the mid-Victorian era." "Deal gently with them," murmured Betteridge. "Their horsehair arm-chairs have stood the test of time very well." "Too well: but their Puritan ideas are in the melting-pot now. Their day is over." "You know I am not sure that the Stoics is the right audience for a play like this," said Tester.
He seemed particularly anxious that we should be comfortably seated, and shook up the cushions of the arm-chairs himself, and got them into the right places. Now go to sleep he said or listen, just which you like best. But I am going to begin by telling you both a secret. Liberavi animam meam.
There were three heavily upholstered leather arm-chairs and one revolving desk-chair; a roll-top desk, against the partition wall, a waste-paper basket, and a flat-topped desk, or table. And that was all. Or not quite all, else the office equipment had not been complete. There was the telephone! But he would hear! Or was the partition sound-proof?
The doctor went straight to the prisoner, unbound his hands, and struck him on the breast and back. Science now continued, in a serious manner, the truculent examination of the executioner's eye. During this time a servant in the livery of the house of Guise brought in several arm-chairs, a table, and writing-materials.
Gaspare, the Sicilian boy who was my servant, will superintend the carrying up of it on women's heads his dear old grandmother takes the heaviest things, arm-chairs and so on and it will all be got ready in no time.
Rashleigh's own drawing-room at home. It was lighted by a cluster of gas-jets, and the piano, the arm-chairs, the sofas, the tables, the pictures, were all very handsome and very common, indeed. Ten minutes elapsed. The commonplace, everyday look of the mysterious room did more toward reassuring the trembling prelate than all the masked man's words.
He and his country stood to meet the issue together the moment the Countess of Fleetwood and her escort crossed the Welsh border; when it became a question between the hot-hearted, at their impetuous gallop, and the sedatively minded, in an unfortified camp of arm-chairs.
Behind the screen the great lady had only two persons with her: a man and a woman, who sat side by side on arm-chairs at the foot of her couch. She extended her hand to the Assistant Commissioner. “I never hoped to see you here to-night. Annie told me—” “Yes. I had no idea myself that my work would be over so soon.”
