The sarcophagus, often richly carved, of course succeeded the simpler cellaret of Sheraton's period. Before we dismiss the furniture of the "dining room" of this period, it may interest some of our readers to know that until the first edition of "Johnson's Dictionary" was published in 1755, the term was not to be found in the vocabularies of our language designating its present use.
The first cellaret Katherine opened was quite empty, the opposite one held two empty bottles covered with dust, and another, at the bottom of which was about a wineglass of brandy. She sought eagerly for and found a glass, and brought it to the fainting man, pouring out a small quantity, which he sipped readily enough. "Ah!" he said, "I was nearly gone. I must eat.
The room was carpeted, and there was a sofa in it, though a very old one, and two arm-chairs and a mahogany office-table, and a cellaret, which was generally well supplied with wine which Dobbs Broughton did not get out of the vaults of his neighbours, Burton and Bangles.
"No, I won't take any supper you needn't bring it but give me a glass of Burgundy, and then go to bed. Where is your mistress, by the way? Has she gone to her room?" Uncle Shadrach brought the bottle of Burgundy from the cellaret and placed it upon the table. "Naw, suh, Miss July she set out ter de quarters ter see atter Mahaley," he returned.
Halifax is a charming, hospitable place: its name is associated with so many pleasing recollections, that it never fails to extort another glass from the bottle which, having been gagged, was going to pass the night in the cellaret. But only say Halifax! and it is like "Open sesame!" out flies the cork, and down goes a bumper to the "health of all good lasses!"
At the bottom of the cellaret I found a couple of flags stowed a tattered yellow quarantine-signal tightly rolled into a bundle, and a red ensign neatly folded. As I lifted out the latter, there dropped from its folds and fell upon the cabin floor a book. I picked it up a thin quarto bound in black morocco, and rather the worse for wear.
She stood silent, and I added, "I know now whose shadow I saw on the broken panel of that door there, the first Sunday night." "Oh, it was Eddie's," she agreed rather unexpectedly. "And he came to steal the 1920 diary," I supplied. "He came to get a drink from the cellaret, and a cigar from the case. That's the use he made of his power to move these bolts."
"And why doesn't he invite you to London, and take you to see people?" "Oh, he knows me better than that!" replied Ivy, with a laugh. Whilst the girls talked thus, Eustace Glazzard and his brother were also in confidential chat. They had gone to the library and made themselves comfortable with cigars a cellaret and glasses standing within reach. The rooms at Highmead gave evidence of neglect.
The room, with its deep-red curtains and ruby-embossed paper, was almost dark, and he knew that he might remain there unseen and unnoticed for the next half-hour. If he could only get a glass of wine! He tried the cellaret, which was as often open as locked, but now unfortunately it was closed.
They were usually made in pairs in both large and small sizes. A pair of antique mirrors should be kept together, as they are very much more valuable than when separated. Adam was one of the first to assemble the pieces that later grew into the sideboard a table, two pedestals, and a cellaret.
