Without a glance at silver shields, boars' heads, tiger-skins, curtains and graven gold ornaments beyond price, or any of the other trappings of royal luxury, Tom followed the major-domo into a room furnished with one sole divan and a little Buhl-work table.
A primitive emotion, but then Nanna was the elemental woman. When Esmay returned she brought with her a bowl containing a small quantity of cottage cheese, hard and yellow with age.

A table stood in the middle of the room, a handsome piece of buhl-work.
A heavy buhl-work writing-table opposite the door was littered with maps, books and journals; there was a sécretaire book-case in Chippendale by the side of the enormous fire-place, in which a great coal fire burned; and above this was an ivory overmantel of exquisite work.
