dinin'-hall

Updated: June 2, 2025

"Here, Sam, you black imp, carry yo' Marster Jack's gun and things to my room, and, Rachel, take the colonel's bag to the sea-room, next to the dinin'-hall. Breakfast in an hour, gentlemen, as Mrs. Slocomb used to say." I found only a bed covered with a quilt, an old table with small drawers, a wash-stand, two chairs, and a desk on three legs.
