The dining-room was a really magnificent apartment. There were massive buffets of carved oak, black with age, ornamented with brass mountings.

She took a large, dressed doll out of its wrappings. "Look at that!" "What a beauty!" cried the Colonel. "Can talk, too." Madge pressed the wondrous puppet's shirred silk chest. "Ma-ma," it cried. "Ma-ma." "Never had nothin' but a rag-doll, myself," the girl went on, delighted by their approval of this automatic wonder. "'Tain't for me. It's for a little girl as lives up in th' mountings."
"Goin' to take you back to the mountings next trip learn you to tan hides good with ashes and deer brains all same squaw make good squaw out o' you Katie break your spirit first you brat lick you till I break your heart."

They carried two swords with gold mountings and scarlet tassels, so that when they danced in harmony with the flutes and drums the spectacle presented was one of dazzling brilliancy."
