She might as well, seeing that so much of her sewing was being prepared in Mrs. Gurney's sewing-room. This, and pages more, was reiterated daily, till Dexie would snatch up her work and run to her aunt's room, and she was heartily glad when the time came to leave Gussie and her unkind words behind her.
She fingered the dainty white frills lovingly as she remembered the sunny summer days at home in the little sewing-room, where cherry boughs poked their blossoms in at the window, when her mother and sisters had helped her to make it, with laughing prophesies and speculations as to its first appearance.
When Rex hobbled downstairs at ten o'clock in the morning, he ensconced himself on the old-fashioned sofa in the sewing-room, and remained there until he adjourned into the drawing-room for the evening. The boys came in and out as they pleased, Miss Briggs coddled him and brought him cups of beef-tea, but it was upon the girls that he chiefly depended for amusement.
Now, if a woman defies popular decrees by refusing to exhibit herself for the popular entertainment, the horrible whisper is forthwith circulated that she has been 'disappointed, and is hiding her green wound in her sewing-room or oratory. 'Disappointed, forsooth! That is what they say of every girl who is not married to somebody by the time she is twenty-five.
"You'll have to go," Lily Condor announced with an intimate air of dismissal to Stillman. "It would never do to let a mere man in on the secrets of the sewing-room." At the door he hesitated awkwardly over his good-by. "I was wondering," he said, "whether you were serious about ... about hiring Miss Robson as your accompanist.

He's really not troublesome; but he's building a nest under the bureau, and if you don't know about him, it's rather unsettling to see a paper pattern from the sewing-room, or a piece of cloth, moving across the floor." Mr. Le Moyne thought it might be very interesting. "Although, if there's nest-building going on, isn't it er possible that Reginald is a lady ground-squirrel?"
She had given up her dolls, but she still made clothes for them out of scraps from Harriet's sewing-room. In the parlance of the Street, Harriet "sewed" and sewed well. She had taken Anna into business with her, but the burden of the partnership had always been on Harriet. To give her credit, she had not complained.
You are included in the invitation, Evelyn," she added, as she rose and led the way. In the cheerful, sunny sewing-room, beside a window that looked out upon the beautiful grounds, now gay with autumn flowers, Christine and Alma sat busily plying their needles and talking together thankfully of the present, hopefully of the future, when the door opened and the two ladies and little girl entered.
Grace smiled and folded up her work. "Where are you going?" asked the Captain. "To get the remainder of this embroidery from Agnes Darling. Do you know what it is?" "How should I?" "Well, then, it is a part of Miss Kate's bridal outfit. June will soon be here, although to-day does not look much like it." She went out and descended to the sewing-room.
