Why don't you tear down that old-fashioned mantelpiece in the fore-room?" "I could have a marble one," responded Amelia in a low voice. She had taken her sewing again, and she bent her head over it as if she were ashamed. A flush had risen in her cheeks, and her hand trembled. "Wide marble! real low down!" confirmed aunt Ann, in a tone of triumph.
Hayes's fore-room, and Mrs. Hayes stayed with them all night, sometimes sitting up, and sometimes lay down upon the bed by them. The same day one Bennet, the king's organ-maker's apprentice, going to Westminster to see the head, believed it to be Mr. Hayes's, he being intimately acquainted with him; and thereupon went and informed Mrs. Hayes, that the head exposed to view in St.
Between the half rooms, and also along the bulwarks, there were wide gangways, running fore and aft. There was a large forecastle in which the warriors slept and took their meals, and abaft the main mast there was another cabin called the "fore-room", in which King Olaf had his high seat, or throne. Here he held his councils. Here, too, he had his armour chests. Thirty men lived in the fore-room.
That's your half o' the house, an' this is mine. Don't you dast to darken my doors! "Lyddy Ann she walked through the entry an' into the fore-room, an' he shet the door." "I wouldn't ha' done it!" snorted old Mrs. "Ketch me!" "You would if you'd 'a' been Lyddy Ann!" said Sally Flint, with an emphatic nod.
"We all know how the sheriff's office is run in this county." This statement was made by Talleyrand Sylvester, who came thrusting through the jam of the hall into the fore-room. "Squire," he whispered, hoarsely, "I've brought down them quedaws as you told me to. They're outside. Say the word and we'll light on that old steer in the plug-hat!"
I hope you will be true and loyal to yourself, Margery mia." "To myself? I do not understand." "I think you do I think you must." "But I do not." I turned it over more than once in my mind if I should tell her all I had feared; should tell her how I came to kill a man and was fair set to kill another had I found a wedding afoot in the great fore-room.
Bascom was at work on a new fore-room rug, the former one having been transferred to Miss Hollis's chamber; for, as the teacher at the brick schoolhouse, a graduate of a Massachusetts normal school, and the daughter of a deceased judge, she was a boarder of considerable consequence. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon, and the two women were alone.
An old man sat in an arm-chair under one of the trees. He wore gold earrings and an old-style coat with brass buttons. "Uncle Charette," explained the Duke, as they passed him. "Simply a lawn ornament." He led the way into the house without knocking. "And this is Aunt Charette," he volunteered. In the centre of the spotless fore-room a ponderous woman rocked in her huge chair and knitted placidly.
"Ann," said she, "come here, I want to speak to you." Nabby stared wonderingly; and Ann, as she obeyed, felt awed. There was something unusual in her mistress's tone. Standing there in the fore-room, in the august company of the best bed, with its high posts and flowered-chintz curtains, the best chest of drawers, and the best chairs, Ann listened to what Mrs. Polly had to tell her.
It must have been an hour or more, for now a gibbous moon hung pale above the tree-tops, and all around were bivouac fires and horses tethered to show that in the interval a troop had come and camped. The scene within the great fore-room of the house had been shifted, too.
