Columns of "To Let, Furnished or Unfurnished" ads filed, advanced, and retreated before my dizzy eyes. My time after office hours was spent in climbing dim stairways, interviewing unenthusiastic females in kimonos, and peering into ugly bedrooms papered with sprawly and impossible patterns and filled with the odors of dead-and-gone dinners.
They will have a recitation perhaps, ombres chinoises, music. Come and look at the drawings before we go. And he took his charge round the walls, which were papered with drawings and sketches, laughing and explaining.
Rosalie, under pretense of consulting her watch, looked away. "You'll know in ten minutes," she said. "Now don't bother me with any questions. I've got directions for you. You're coming with me to the floor below. I'll let you into a hall closet. It was built into a into a room, and the back of it is only wood. There's an old gas connection, which they papered over, through that wood.
Rolls or biscuits may have the top crust wet with a little melted butter, and then brown a minute after steaming. In all cake-making, see that every thing is ready to your hand, pans buttered, or papered if necessary; flour sifted; all spices and other materials on your working-table; and the fire in good order.
For instance, if you wish to keep your rooms in one color-plan, you may have white woodwork in all of them, and walls of varying shades of cream and yellow. The north rooms may have walls painted or papered with a soft, warm yellow that suggests creamy chiffon over orange. The south rooms may have the walls of a cool creamy-gray tone.
It held a delicately figured service of blue and gold, while the selection of thin-stemmed glasses all in rows indicated the character of the entertainment that awaited them. The men's eyes were too busy with the unaccustomed sight to note details carefully, but they felt soft carpet beneath their feet and observed that the walls were smooth and harmoniously papered.
"I have been, until quite lately. I have been neither pessimist nor optimist just myself, and I believe happy." "And what is this change? and what has it led to?" "It was to tell you that I asked you here to-night." They had finished dinner, and rose from the table. Passing through the hall of the club, they went into a huge high room, papered with books.
The walls I had papered just as our nursery had been papered. Even the old kettle was rescued from oblivion, and stood on the hob. It was so old that any jumble sale would have been pleased to have it. The kettle-holder hung on the wall, with its cat on a green ground, which had been lovely in the day of its youth. One of us had worked it; Nannie of course knew which.
It was ten o'clock at night. The workgirl, returned to Cardoville House, had just entered her chamber. Worn out by so many emotions, she had thrown herself into a chair. The deepest silence reigned in the house. It was now and then interrupted by the soughing of a high wind, which raged without and shook the trees in the garden. A single candle lighted the room, which was papered with dark green.
These words of hers returned to Laura with great force as the door of the house on McVane Street was opened to her, and she found herself in a chilly hall, darkly papered and darkly and shabbily carpeted; and when she followed Esther up the stairs, for it was Esther who had answered her ring, and noted the general dreariness of the whole, she thought pityingly, "Poor Esther, to be obliged to live in such a dismal fashion."
