Her apartments are a perfect series of catafalques, and seem to have been upholstered by an undertaker. The drawing-room is hung in violet damask; the bed-rooms in black velvet; the furniture is of ebony or old oak; crucifixes, holy-water basins, folio bibles, death's-heads and poniards adorned the enlivening interior.
You doubtless were at some hotel, and you went there because you could not get a room at your club. In fact, this was stated when the coroner telephoned for you, the morning after the murder. I mean, it was stated that the club bed-rooms were all occupied.
Three bed-rooms in a row there, and three attics in a row above. That isn't all the house really, but it's all that one notices nine windows as you look up from the front garden. "Then there's a very big wych-elm to the left as you look up leaning a little over the house, and standing on the boundary between the garden and meadow. I quite love that tree already.
Do you ever go into the bed-rooms of any persons of any class, whether they contain one, two, or twenty people, whether they hold sick or well, at night, or before the windows are opened in the morning, and ever find the air anything but unwholesomely close and foul?

Ambrose was ashamed, bitterly ashamed of this failing, and he made up his mind a hundred times that he would get over it, but that was in the broad daylight when the sun was shining.
Out of the four windows, which I attributed to the bed-rooms, the heads of four girls popped. Three half-naked savages, or the Graces, could not have caused more excitement in the streets of London, than we did to the amiable inmates of this lonely cottage; for I do not suppose there was another house, or hovel, within twenty miles.
Of course there were all the other appliances of a well-equipped Institute such as sleeping-cabins, manager's room, Bible-class room, lavatory, and all the rest of it, while a handsome new stone building close beside it contained sitting-rooms, bed-rooms, club-room for officers, kitchens, and, by no means least, though last, a large lecture-hall.
Yes, beds indeed you may have, but bed-rooms if you ask for them, it really is more than I can supply you with. I have given up my own. I sleep with my maid Jane to-night. 'Anything will do for us, madam, replied Evan, renewing his foreign courtesy. 'But there is a poor young woman outside. 'Another! The hostess instantly smiled down her inhospitable outcry.
We must avoid breathing over the carbonic acid gas contained in the tight or unventilated rooms in which we labor or remain for a long time, whether parlors, school-rooms, counting-rooms, bed-rooms, shops, or factories.
