We seemed, so rapid was our passage, to be whisked on an Arabian carpet to a spacious drawing-room, richly furnished, with thick rugs and ample cushions and countless knicknacks and photographs and delicately-tinted lampshades.
Another booth held crepe paper for lampshades or other fancy work, and it was not long before every one had selected an occupation and was prepared to begin work. Elise, of course, was going to draw a picture, and Patty concluded she would trim a hat. As it neared the time, Patty threaded her needle and put on her thimble, but was not allowed to touch her material until the signal was given.
The limitations of her resources were, of course, arbitrary, that is plain in the fact that she asked such a person as the Head of the Department of Education, with no better reason than that he had laid almost the whole of Shelley under critical notes for the benefit of Calcutta University, and the necessary item, his wife, who did even less harm by making exquisite lampshades.
The room looked very home-like and cosy. A fire crackled gaily on the hearth. The winter curtains were drawn; the orange lampshades cast a soft golden light around. The tea-table stood ready cups and plates for two. The firelight shone on the embossed brightness of the urn and teapot. Ronnie's favourite low chair was ready for him.
Machine and handworkers carry out special orders in making curtains, cushions, lampshades, etc. A store school employs teachers of salesmanship and store system. Many girls are employed as saleswomen in smaller stores which need only a few employees.
And while Wagner's at least is full of animal richness, Tchaikowsky's is morbid and hysterical and perverse, sets us amid the couches and draperies and pink lampshades instead of out under the night-time sky. Berlioz's, however, is full of a still and fragrant poesy. His is the music of Shakespeare's lovers indeed. It is like the opening of hearts dumb with the excess of joy.
"I don't mind your wanting to work, dear, I think it's splendid of you," returned Pussy, "but I do feel that you ought to work in a ladylike way a way that wouldn't interfere with your social position and your going to germans and having attention from young men and all that." "Why don't you make lampshades, Gabriella?" demanded Jane in an emphatic burst of inspiration.
"Sophy Madison earns enough from lampshades to send her sister and herself to the White Sulphur Springs every summer." "Sophy makes all the lampshades that anybody wants, and, besides, she gets orders from the North she told me so yesterday." "Gabriella crochets beautifully," remarked Mrs. Carr a little nervously because of the failure of her first suggestion.
And at Madame d'Alglade's sale yes, I went there after all, just for a minute, because I found Katy and Nannie were so anxious to be taken well, that day I noticed that Madame de Treymes was quite empressee when we went up to her stall. Oh, I didn't buy anything: I merely waited while the girls chose some lampshades.
Knox to be present at the interview." "Oh," said the Inspector, lowering his chin, "I see. Oh, very well." Madame de Staemer's apartment was a large and elegant one. From the window-drapings, which were of some light, figured satiny material, to the bed-cover, the lampshades and the carpet, it was French.
