It was in this peace of John Saunders's snuggery, one July evening, in 1903, the three of us being duly met, and ensconced in our respective arm-chairs, that we got on to the subject of buried treasure. We had talked more than usual that evening talked duck and shark till those inexhaustible themes seemed momentarily exhausted.
This was, for a long period of time, the principal inn of Chester, and was the house at which Swift once put up, on his way to Holyhead, and where he invited the clergy to come and sup with him. We sat down in a small snuggery, conversing with the landlord.
That little cabin is just large enough for two of us to turn around in, or we would take you. Just wait till Will has command of a big East Indiaman and you shall go all around the world with us. We are in our snuggery this evening, as usual. I think you must know it as well as I do by this time.
The Old Lawn, as it was called, sloped away from a broad verandah which ran the whole length of the central wing and formed the approach to the big drawing-room and dining-room, and a cosy breakfast-room of early Georgian style, and these, with her study and "snuggery" and bedroom on the next floor, formed the peculiar domain of Miss Nitocris.
"Suppose that she does not care for you?" the man went on, "that she is deceiving you?" "I have long known that, monsieur here, in this very spot, Monsieur Crevel and I told each other " "Oh! Then you knew that you were in Monsieur le Maire's private snuggery?" "Perfectly." The constable lightly touched his hat with a respectful gesture. "You are very much in love," said he.

His books, papers, desks, and tables were sacred to his use, and might not at any time be disturbed by other hands. Even Mrs. Lawrence, who had her own books in her own little snuggery up-stairs, rarely ventured to touch her brother's library shelves.
I've had a regular little snuggery fitted up there; and we can go in and see the fellows making up the horses." Crosbie wished the Honourable John at the mischief. "I have letters to write," said he. "Besides, I never smoke before dinner." "That's nonsense. I've smoked hundreds of cigars with you before dinner. Are you going to turn curmudgeon, too, like George and the rest of them?
All the singers were called "ladies and gentlemen;" and the one long room in which the performances took place was simply furnished with a double row of benches, bearing troughs at their backs for the reception of glasses of liquor. Innocence itself must have seen at a glance that the Snuggery was an utterly vicious place. Vice never so much as thought of wearing any disguise here.

They were certainly in the little by-road which led to the house. They ceased. She did not move, but sat where she was with a fast-beating heart. "Well, this is a cute little snuggery and no mistake!" It was Crayford's voice in the court of the bougainvillea. She bent her head and pored over her book.
