"I have come to tell you such a piece of news, Ethelrida," Tristram said as he sat down beside her on the chintz-covered sofa. Ethelrida's tastes in furniture and decorations were of the simplest in her own room. "Guess what it is!" "How can I, Tristram? Mary is really going to marry Lord Henry?" "Not that I know of as yet, but I daresay she will, some day.
He and Alice were lying together on a broad chintz-covered lounge, as I had so often seen him and Ellen. "Oh, Auntie, come here," said Alice, "hear mamma's letter to me! She gave it to papa in New York. She says it is like the sealed orders they give to captains sometimes, not to be opened till they are out at sea. It is all about how I am to fill her place to papa.
Besides the chintz-covered chairs, there are two old English chairs covered with English needlework. These chairs are among the treasures of the Club. There are several long mahogany tables, and many small tea tables. The rugs are of a spring green I can think of no better name for it.
The walls were covered with brown paper, and on it were a few of her own water-colour drawings, and a few old engravings of merit. Chintz was the cover on windows and easy chairs, and in a corner of the parlour was a chintz-covered lounge where she read of an evening.
I don't believe you are well. You didn't eat a morsel of breakfast, so I'm going to fix you a nice little lunch. I got you a beautiful sweetbread from Mr. Dewlap." Putting her arm about her, she led her up the long flight of steps to her room, where Mrs. Treadwell, pacified by the attention, began immediately to doze on the chintz-covered couch by the window.
The cheerful, sunlit, chintz-covered bedroom, with its white furniture, blue-and-white wall-paper, and lattice windows almost hidden by rose and jasmine bushes, was a pleasant coup d'oeil after the grimy, bug-infested post-houses; and the luxuries of a good night's rest and subsequent shave, cold tub, and clean linen were that morning appreciated as they only can be by one who has spent many weary days in the saddle, uncombed, unshaven, and unwashed.
"Nor he to it. Very wise and right of him to go back to Onslow Gardens." A maid brought in the tea, and the professor, spread strangely forth in a small, chintz-covered arm-chair, enjoyed it while he talked about oysters and oyster-beds.
We were in mother's winter room. She was in a low, chintz-covered chair; Aunt Merce sat by the window, in a straight-backed chair, that rocked querulously, and likewise covered with chintz, of a red and yellow pattern.
"It was my daughter's room," said Mrs. Falconer, sitting down on the chintz-covered seat by the open window. Camilla looked surprised. "I did not know you had a daughter," she said. "Yes I had just the one child," said Mrs. Falconer dreamily. For fifteen years she had never spoken of Missy to a living soul except her husband.
One child died, and the mother started with the other on the long drive to the nearest doctor. The last ten miles it was a dead child she held in her arms. When Boggley finished I was silent, remembering the little chintz-covered chair empty but for a broken doll. Now that I have tasted the joys of solitude I don't see how I am to enjoy living in a crowd again.
