Adam sometimes had special rugs made exactly reproducing the design of the ceiling, but it is an idea that is better forgotten. With Hepplewhite and Sheraton the same general ideas hold; keep to the spirit of the furniture, try to have a central idea in the house furnishing, so that the restful effect of harmony may be given.
Shearer's furniture was simple and dainty in design, and he has the honor of making the first real serpentine sideboard, about 1780, which was not a more or less disconnected collection of tables and pedestals. It was the forerunner of the Hepplewhite and Sheraton sideboards that we know so well.

"Well, what is it this time?" asked Edgerton jocosely. "It's a suit for false imprisonment for one hundred thousand dollars!" choked Mr. Hepplewhite. Mr. Edgerton looked shocked.
Hepplewhite, for upon the absolute smoothness with which tea and dinner were served and the accuracy with which his valet selected socks to match his tie his entire happiness, to say nothing of his peace of mind, depended.
