The principal chamber was round; and in it was a large work-table covered with green cloth, and surrounded with small leather folding-chairs. The last barrack was that of Decres, minister of the navy, which was furnished like that of Marshal Soult.
"I positively cannot sit still and look at that luncheon any longer. Groves, give me a biscuit." They were both seated on low folding-chairs out on the open moorland, only a few yards away from the edge of the rugged line of cliffs against which, many hundreds of feet below, the sea was breaking with a low monotonous murmur.
Lady Northmoor was carried into a bedroom, and Constance was shut out into a room that photographed itself on her memory, even in that moment a room like a box, with a rough table, a few folding-chairs, an easel, water-coloured drawings hung about in all directions, a big travelling-case, a few books, a writing-case, Mrs.
Three or four folding-chairs had been placed aft for the benefit of the passengers, one of which Brace had marked down for his own use, and he was thinking of fetching it along to where they stood, as he talked to the second and fastened the strap of his binocular case.
