Have you done it this morning, Clarke?" "No, mum. I hadn't finished the green droring-room when Mr. Holloway brought the sad news," said one of the housemaids. Mr. Manley locked the library door and put that key also in his pocket. Then he said in a tone of authority: "I think, Mrs. Carruthers, that the sooner we all have breakfast the better.
He isn't safe with a pipe in his mouth or a box of matches in his pocket. Henry ought to take out a special insurance against Mr. Rawlings. 'No, it's nothin' like that, miss.

"And we ain't got our droring-room suit, neither," said Mr. Beale. "Lady's and gent's easy-chairs, four hoccasionals, pianner, and foomed oak booreau." "Curtains," said Dickie "white curtains for the parlor and short blinds everywhere else. I'll go and get 'em while you clean the winders. That old shirt of mine. It won't hang through another washing. Clean 'em with that."
