Marseilles quilt. Ruffles all round the piller. Chintz curtings, jest put up, o' purpose for the party, I'll lay ye a dollar. What a nice washbowl!"

My lady put off her French hood and travelling cloak in the lobby of the east wing, gave her piled-up hair a twitch this way and that, unfastened her fan from her waist, and sailed in to supper, her maid carrying her gloves and scent-bottle behind her.
