The house was very ordinary within; it was flagged with stones that had some kind of matting upon them: the entrance was all panelled; and, what surprised me was that no servant was to be seen. Mr. Sheppard himself opened the door to us when we knocked. We did not speak at all as we came in; and my Lord led me straight through into the parlour on the left that was full of tobacco-smoke.
I began to study the room and the people in it. The room was panelled in new oak, and the chairs and table were all of new oak, well carved. It was the handsomest room I had ever been in. Afterward I looked toward the growl. I saw a little old man in a chair much too big for him, and in a wig much too big for him.
It consists of a Perp. nave and S. aisle, with a truncated shingled spire at the W. end. Internally it is comely and of interest. The recumbent effigies are finished in much detail, but a certain mystery hangs about their identity. On the N. side of the sanctuary is an altar tomb panelled with devices of the Five Wounds. It is supposed to have served as an Easter sepulchre.
The main thing was to get her at a table opposite him, where they wouldn't have to hurry away. "Let's go in there." He pointed toward a small restaurant across the street where red candlelights glimmered warmly through panelled lace. "But that looks like such a stylish place," she protested, even as she let him guide her toward it.
He picked up the granite stones, fitted them together, panelled them, made the floors from the deck of a brigantine which came ashore on Annet, pegged down the thatch roof in a word, he built the house from first to last with his own hands and he took fifteen months over the business, during which time he did not exchange a single word with Mrs.
I slid back the panelled sides, got in with my light, pulled them together again, and felt secure against the vigilance of Heathcliff, and every one else. The ledge, where I placed my candle, had a few mildewed books piled up in one corner; and it was covered with writing scratched on the paint.
It was a somewhat dark room, panelled where there was space for it between the books, and with two windows looking out on to the square. "I thought we should see you soon," said the attorney. "We saw you come, mistress; and the fellows that cried out on you." "They had their deserts," said Marjorie, smiling. Mr. Bassett laughed aloud. "Indeed they did," he said in his deep, pleasant voice.
A coved and panelled ceiling of decorated aethereum sprang from the upper edge of the richly moulded cornice; and a skylight of magnificent stained glass, somewhat similar to that of the dining saloon, surmounted the whole.
Above the ground floor was only an attic storey; and the main part of the ground floor consisted of four large low rooms, panelled in wood, and with ceiling of dark, heavy beams. Adjoining the rear of these, my grandfather had built a comparatively modern kitchen; but every fireplace in the old house preserved the generous cheerful style of ample spread and fire-dogs.
Inside, there were a few low panelled rooms opening on a large central hall; there was little furniture, and that of a sturdy and solid kind but the house needed nothing else, and had all the beauty that came of a simple austerity. Old Mistress Alison, who abode there, was aged and poor.
