Hepplewhite vaguely. "Get on, boys," ordered the captain. "Good evening, sir. Good evening, ma'am. Step lively, you!" The blue cloud faded away, bearing with it both Bibby and the burglar. Then the third footman brought the belated tea. "What a frightful thing to have happen!" grieved Mrs. Witherspoon as she poured out the tea for Mr. Hepplewhite. "You don't take cream, do you?"
A dream house must have dream furniture. There are old shops in Alexandria, where, less often than in earlier years, one may find treasures, bow-legged chairs and gate-legged tables, yellowed letters written by famous pens, steel engravings which have hung in historic halls, pewter and plate, Luster and Sèvres, Wedgwood and Willow, Chippendale and Hepplewhite, Adams and Empire, everything linked with some distinguished name, everything with a story, real or invented.
In the dining-room our interest was quickened upon our being told that the handsome sideboard had belonged to the Byrd family. It is believed to be a Hepplewhite, though similar in lines to a rare design of Sheraton's. Above the sideboard a circular, concave mirror of elaborate eighteenth century type accentuates the period furnishing of the room.
Desk A reproduction of a Sheraton, Hepplewhite, or Early English Desk. Chair Rush bottom same wood as desk, or in dull black or sage green dull enamel, conventional stencil design. Wicker chair Of brown or natural wicker, with printed linen cushions in floral pattern. Tilt table for cards or tea Mahogany or walnut.
There were many other cabinet-makers of merit that space does not allow me to mention, but the great four who stood head and shoulders above them all were Chippendale, Adam, Hepplewhite and Sheraton.
In either case the true feeling must be kept and no startling anachronisms should be allowed; radiators, for instance, should be hidden in window-seats. This same style may be used for any room in the house, and there are beautiful reproductions of Chippendale, Adam, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton furniture that are appropriate for any need.
Just because this poor man hungry, thirsty and weary happened to select a bed belonging to John De Puyster Hepplewhite to lie on he is thrown into prison, indicted by a grand jury, and tried for felony! Ye gods! 'Sweet land of liberty!" "Well, he hasn't been tried yet," replied Bonnie Doon. "If you feel that way about it why don't you defend him?" "I will!" shouted Mr.
The old lawyer slowly unfolded his tall frame and gazed quizzically down upon the shivering Hepplewhite. "You have been sued by my client for one hundred thousand dollars, haven't you?" he demanded. "Object!" shot out O'Brien. "Overruled," snapped the court. "It is a proper question for cross-examination. It may show motive." Mr. Hepplewhite sat helplessly until the shooting was over.
Why, I hardly looked at the man. I shouldn't know him if I saw him. Do I have to go to court?" Mr. Edgerton smiled genially in a manner which he thought would encourage Mr. Hepplewhite. "I suppose you'll have to go to court. You can't help that, you know, if you've been subpoenaed. But you can't testify to anything that I can see. It's just a formality." "Formality!" groaned his client.
The rococo of Chippendale is coarsened, his Chinese style loses its fine, if eccentric, distinction, and the inlay of Hepplewhite and Sheraton is another example of spoiling a beautiful thing.
