Opening out of this room are the rooms of the Board of Trustees, the parlors and reading-rooms of the Young Men's Association and the Young Women's Association, and the kitchen, carving-room and cloak-room. Through the kitchen is a passageway to the engine and boiler rooms. In pantries and cupboards is an outfit of china and table cutlery sufficient to set a table for five hundred persons.
It did not seem homelike at all to me, so I asked the agent whether he would give me a receipt for it. "Yes, if you satisfy the porter, I will," he answered. This reply made me more tired of Amsterdam than anything else, for, thought I, if the agent of the would-be "cloak-room" is a party to such a set of fellows, I must indeed have fallen into pretty bad company.
"We have a new cloak-room now; you just ought to see it!" "Oh, I have seen it, you can be sure!" said the lady, dryly. "I've been up there sniffing around and inspecting every corner, and I'm glad to say that I quite approve of it." They both laughed heartily, but Faith was not quite satisfied. "Can you see any changes that you did not suggest. Miss Dean?" she asked, a little timidly.
Before taking my bag of books to the cloak-room I wrote two letters. Both were to Ashcroft Ashcroft of the Foreign Office, who got me my passport and permit to come to Rotterdam. Herbert Ashcroft and I were old friends. I addressed the envelopes to his private house in London.
I must run upstairs I forgot my handkerchief." "Let me get it for you," offered Mr. Briggs gallantly. "No! oh, no!" Her tone was excited and, almost frantically, she turned and ran into the house and up the stairs. Up there, in the bedroom which was temporarily the "ladies' cloak-room, prostrate on the bed, Mrs. Bonner found her later.
"I'm damned if I ever set foot in your house again!" said Christophe, breaking free: and he reached the door. The people prudently made way for him. In the cloak-room a servant held out a salver. It contained Lucien Levy-Coeur's card.
Langham, hurrying down, saw Rose coming out of the cloak-room, muffled up in brown furs, a pale child-like fatigue in her looks which set his heart beating faster than ever. 'Miss Leyburn, how are you going home? 'Will you ask for a hansom, please? 'Take my arm, he said, and she clung to him through the crush till they reached the door. Nothing but private carriages were in sight.
They walked together to the platform and bade each other good-bye; each obtained a ticket independently, and Jocelyn got his luggage from the cloak-room. On the platform they encountered each other again, and there was a light in their glances at each other which said, as by a flash-telegraph: 'We are bound for the same town, why not enter the same compartment? They did.
They had been standing at the head of the stairs which led down to the cloak-room, and she expected every minute that Maggie Brady would see them. "Don't go just yet, Miss Marvin," urged Mr. Denton, hastily. "I've just arranged about that funeral; it is to be to-morrow evening." "Where?" asked Faith softly. "At the undertaker's," was the answer. "He has a private room for just such purposes.
His bed was in an alcove which had formerly been the cloak-room, and a card hung over it with the inscription, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord." He had no company except big Brother Andrew, who stole down sometimes to cheer him with his speechless presence, and the dog, which was always hanging about. It was at least some comfort to be out of the proximity of Brother Paul.
