Those punchers are just dying for feminine 'scenery. I know Ike Bemis once said that he often felt like draping a blanket on an old cow and asking her for a dance." "The idea!" gasped Mrs.
The results were brought about in much the same way as in other places of revelry, with lighting and draping and the use of evergreens and flowers; but somehow one felt that no drawing-room similarly treated could have been half so charming as the big attic spaces with their gables.

Merton, who had a lighted bedroom-candle in his hand, descended the spiral staircase; at a turning he thought he saw, 'with the tail of his eye, a plaid, draping a tall figure of a Highlander, disappear round the corner.
