The flat was furnished sumptuously in Mission and those red and brown soft leather cushions with Indian heads stamped on them. There was a wooden rack on the wall with six monks' heads in coloured plaster, very life-like, stuck on it. This was a pipe-rack, though Raymond did not smoke a pipe. He liked a mild cigar.
Now, if you were to turn this into a lady's yacht; you would have to remove that pipe-rack, and the guns and rifles and bags." "Oh," said he, anxiously, "I hope you do not smell any tobacco?" "Not at all," said she. "It was only a fancy. Of course you are not likely to turn your yacht into a lady's yacht." He started and looked at her.
Near the fireplace a curiously carved pipe-rack hung, with some half dozen pipes of weird design, evidently the collection of years, while just under it a small table held the utensils sacred to the smoker. When Barry entered he found the table set and everything in readiness for tea. "Awfully sorry I'm too late to help you with tea, dad.
Now, tell the truth, what time did you get to bed last night? Did you go to bed at all?" "No," replied Vandover with a long breath, looking vaguely at the pipe-rack on the opposite wall. "I thought as much," answered Geary. "Well, that's like you." He paused a moment, and then went on, nervously gesturing with both his hands simultaneously. "Well, I've had a long talk with Wade.
There were the chemical corner and the acid-stained, deal-topped table. There upon a shelf was the row of formidable scrap-books and books of reference which many of our fellow-citizens would have been so glad to burn. The diagrams, the violin-case, and the pipe-rack even the Persian slipper which contained the tobacco all met my eyes as I glanced round me.
It revolted Vandover even to think of putting a pipe-rack over it. These defects were offset by the studio, a large and splendid room with hardwood floors and an enormous north light, the legendary studio, the dream of an artist, precisely such a studio as Vandover had hoped he would occupy in the Quarter.
She remembered how she had first come there, and had looked shyly about her for intimations of his inner nature, and how it was his pipe-rack and his boots that had first suggested that he had a life apart and dealings with the outer world. Now she rose and went round the room, searching for its secret, and finding no new impressions, only fresh lights on the old.
They were in Oriel Lane, and exceedingly comfortable, with at least twenty pipes in a pipe-rack on the wall, and at least thirty photographs of his favourite actresses, chiefly Pauline Chase, and five cricket-bats in the corner, and about forty walking-sticks, and a large number of puzzles of the "Pigs in Clover" type, which nearly drove Gregory mad while supper was being prepared.
The room in which he was standing was furnished in embossed leather. A leather couch stood near one of the windows, and a large reclining-chair of the same material was drawn up before the fireplace. Near the mantel was a pipe-rack filled with fine specimens of briar-wood and meerschaum pipes.
"This," he said, pointing to a stout old jar of Devonshire ware, "is some excellent English tobacco my one extravagance; and here," pointing to a pipe-rack, "are some well-tried friends from that same 'dear, dear land, 'sceptred isle of kings, and so forth. And now I am going to leave you, while I go with Samson and Erebus on a little reconnoitring tour around our domains."
