She spoke to the Japanese boy as he was carrying away Flint's unfinished fish course. "Do you know what time the next train leaves?" He laid the tray on the serving-table. "Please.... I telephone. Please!" He bobbed at her absurdly and went out into the hall. She listened. He was ringing up the station-master. He came back promptly.
They would make very comfortable dining chairs and would harmonize with sturdy gate-legged tables, or the long narrow tables which show the influence of Elizabeth's time in the carved drum or acorn-like bulbs of the legs. A court-cupboard would make a beautiful sideboard, and one of the long tables spoken of above would make an appropriate serving-table.
And then, at the very end, something terrible happened. Marguerite had brought in the pie'ce de re'sistance, the climactic dish toward which mother had built the whole meal the deep-dish peach pie, sugar-coated, fragrant and savory and placed it on the serving-table near the open window.
Then, as I have said before, there are the many different shades of enameled and carved furniture and also beautiful natural wood. One can have more of a sideboard in an Adam than in a Chippendale room, as he used two pedestals, one at each end of a large serving-table. He often made tables to fit in niches, which is a charming idea.
He went over to the improvised serving-table, and picked up a fork with a trembling hand; put it down again, and turned to look at her. Yes; she was all dressed up! He groaned under his breath. The tears actually stood in his eyes. "I thought," he said, and stopped to clear his voice, "I didn't know " "What's the matter with you?" Mrs. Maitland asked, looking at him over her spectacles.
"Jim Weatherby brought it over from the crossroads," he said. "It got there last night." "I hope there's nobody dead, child," observed Miss Saidie, from the serving-table, where she was peeling tomatoes. "More likely it points to a marriage, eh, daughter?" chuckled Fletcher jocosely. The girl folded the paper and replaced it carefully in the envelope.
If you have a built-in china closet in your dining-room, you can plan a graceful built-in console-table to serve as a buffet or serving-table, and you will require only a good table not too heavily built and a few chairs for this room. There is rarely a room that would not be improved by built-in shelves and inset mirrors.
They were used much as we use a serving-table, or as the kitchen dresser was used in old New England days. In them were kept food and drink for people to take to their bedrooms to keep starvation at bay until breakfast. Drawing-tables were very popular during Jacobean times.
A heavy sideboard and serving-table stood against opposite walls. Another, smaller room was furnished very attractively as a sitting-room. Deep, easy chairs stood in the corners and a wide, capacious davenport stretched across one wall. In another nook was a little divan or cosy corner.
Molly and Dolly coached her, and with their assistance she was soon able to fill the bewilderingly rapid orders from the line of girls stretching from the door to the open space in front of her serving-table, which never seemed to diminish however adequately its demands were met.
