The poor little One Onlys led rather abashed lives and they had no chance at all around the playroom fire where the Sultans stretched their elegant legs and warmed their shapely toes.
But this room upon which he was now looking was different from anything he had ever before seen in the workshop. It interested and puzzled him. Lynda's specialties were libraries and living rooms; there were two or three things she never attempted and this? Truedale looked closer. How pretty it was like a child's playroom and how fanciful!
He thought that he would easily recognize it, as he had so often discussed the plans with Fabry, but when he found himself at the entrance, and was able to see at a glance all the other rooms, the dormitory where the little babies were asleep in their rose and blue cribs according to the sex, the playroom where those who could walk were playing, the kitchen, the lavatory, he was surprised and delighted.
All of which was inelegant, unladylike, and nonsensical. Kitty must get the better of such ideas at once, and must learn her lessons as Anna did, sitting primly at the square table in the playroom. Anna learnt her lessons by repeating them half aloud, and making a hissing noise through her teeth all the time.

One hot August afternoon, Eyebright and two or three of her special cronies had gone for coolness to the ice-house, a place which they had used as a playroom before on especially sultry days. It was a large, square underground cave, with a shingled roof set over it, whose eaves rested on the ground.
She is the product of a modern age. From babyhood she has lived among artists. She has imbibed their Bohemianism and learnt to talk their jargon. A studio has been her nursery, playroom, and schoolroom, and as soon as she grew up she married an artist." "But all this does not prove that she is not to be treated with the respect due to a married woman, Malcolm."
The great attic room, which was a glorious playroom the rest of the year, was transformed on Christmas into a fairyland.
She smiled to herself as she contrasted her mother's homelike, yet orderly living-room with the room she had just left, which evidently did duty as a hall, living-room, music-room and also a playroom for little Charlie.
