Mary, whose father's rambling sunny house in Lindum with its Elizabethan paneling and carvings had been considered dear at ninety pounds a year, was staggered at the price of these mean garrets, the better of which she felt to be quite beyond their reach. Even Stefan was a little dashed, but was confident that after his interview with Adolph's brother sixty dollars would appear less formidable.
I keep thinking about a room in gray oatmeal paper with prints in very narrow gold frames or would it be better in white enamel paneling? but anyway, it looks out on Fifth Avenue, and I'm designing a sumptuous " He made it "sump-too-ous" "robe of linden green chiffon over cloth of gold! You know tileul. It's elegant. . . . What do you think?" "Why not?
For north rooms I am strongly inclined to the use of paneling in our native American woods, that are so rich in effect, but alas, so little used. I hope our architects will soon realize what delightful and inexpensive rooms can be made of pine and cherry, chestnut and cypress, and the beautiful California redwood. I know of a library paneled with cypress.
In her gradual rehabilitation of the house Grace had finally succeeded in doing over the dining room. Over the old walnut paneling she had hung loose folds of faded blue Italian velvet, with old silver candle sconces at irregular intervals along the walls.
It was all so restful. And before her were three months three beautiful months of this calm, this rest, this security. At seven o'clock Matilda announced that her dinner was ready, and she swept back into the great dining-room, high-ceilinged, surfaced completely with old paneling of Flemish oak. The room was dimly illuminated by a single shaded electric bulb.
Marteen was dressing for the street; her hands were gloved, her sable muff swung from a gem-studded chain, her veil was nicely adjusted; yet she hesitated, her eyes upon a busy silver clock that already marked the appointed hour.

Somehow the rosewood table on which the September morning sun fell with serene beauty did not conflict as it ought to have done with the Tudor paneling of the room. A tapestry screen veiled the door into the hall, and soft curtains of velvety gold hung on either side of the tall, modern windows leading to the garden.
One of them, Roger, during the reign of the latter sovereign, found his way to Exeter, where, as a banker or "goldsmith," he laid the foundations of what was then a very great fortune, and built himself a large town house, of which one room is still intact, with the queen's arms and his own juxtaposed on the paneling.
With two blows of the small axe that he had brought with him, John shattered the glass of the very window through which Grace had peered, and, climbing in, helped the two girls in after him. By the light of the two lanterns they had brought, the cupboard was easily located and opened and a diligent search was made for the hidden spring. "Shall I smash in the paneling, miss?" asked the coachman.
The self-coloured, unpainted paneling of the walls and bookcases but one shade warmer in tone than that of the stone mullions and transomes of the lofty windows gave an indescribable delicacy of effect to the atmosphere of the room.
