It is only necessary to desire the unusual thing, and you'll get it, though much searching may intervene between the idea and its achievement. The washstand itself is not such a problem. A pair of dressing-tables may be bought, and one fitted up as a washstand, and the other left to its usual use.
It did seem larger than dressing-tables and velvet hangings and scented baths. But she dragged herself from the enticing path of that thought, and sighed wretchedly, "Oh, yes, he would appreciate Rainier, but how how would he manage a grape-fruit? I mustn't be a fool! I mustn't!" She saw that Mrs.

As substitutes, I had four angels, of Queen Anne's reign, taking a complacent gentleman to heaven, in festoons, with some difficulty; and a composition in needlework representing fruit, a kettle, and an alphabet.
