Dowler and his wife, respectively retired to their private sitting-rooms at the White Hart Hotel, opposite the Great Pump Room, Bath, where the waiters, from their costume, might be mistaken for Westminster boys, only they destroy the illusion by behaving themselves much better. Breakfast had scarcely been cleared away on the succeeding morning, when a waiter brought in Mr.
These household arrangements complete, she solaced herself with tea in her own little parlour, and shrewdly reviewed the circumstances of Mr Bellingham's arrival. "Indeed! and she's not his wife," thought Jenny, "that's clear as day.

Call the care of china and silver, the sweeping of carpets, the arrangement of parlors and sitting-rooms, drudgery; and go into a factory and spend the day amid the whir and clatter and thunder of machinery, inhaling an atmosphere loaded with wool and machine grease, and keeping on the feet for twelve hours, nearly continuously!
The dining and sitting-rooms were hung with the original water-colour drawings mostly by Stanfield, I think which illustrated his minor works.

That last sentence ran thus: "And if you don't hold your tongue, I'll make you pay for it." "Ho, ho!" thought the detective; "Miss Betsy is to hold her tongue, is she? We'll see about that." The girl came back to the hall, and led Mr. Carter into the two sitting-rooms in the front of the house. They were small rooms, with small furniture.
