The living-room assumed an air of comfort; my books now had a real corner of their own; the guest-chamber or, rather, the little spare-room already had entertained its transient tenants; and as our friends came and went the walls caught something from them all, to remind us of their presence. I took to gardening.
But, in the midst of all my tribulation, one other thought would come, I don't exactly like to tell it, but then I believe I promised to keep nothing back; well, then, if I must, I thought that this spare-room was the place where Eleanor would make up the fire, when when I was far enough along to come regularly every Sunday night. With that thought my courage revived.
They were received with perfect politeness by the servant, who opened the door and ushered them, as she would have done any other visitors, into the spare-room, prettily furnished in blue and white satin, with white lace hangings and silver ornaments.
The branches are grayish green dotted with gray or white. Now who can tell me something about this tree?" "I know that furniture is made of the wood," said Clara, "because that pretty set in the large spare-room is ash. And it is very light-colored."
The young bride, planning a home, is resolved upon a bay-window, as large a parlor as possible, and an effective spare-room; but, having in most cases no personal knowledge of work, does not consider whether kitchen and dining-room are conveniently planned, or not, and whether the arrangement of pantries and closets is such that both rooms must be crossed a hundred times a day, when a little foresight might have reduced the number certainly by one-half, perhaps more.
Fortunately, Aunt Betsey's heart covered a broader sphere, and the moment the stage was gone she closed the door to shut out the dust, dropped the green curtains, and drawing from the spare-room a large, stuffed chair, bade 'Lena "see if she couldn't set up a minit."
Sykes waved a deprecatory hand, at once exhibiting and apologising for so much splendour. "This is the spare-room," she explained. "And there," pointing to the high, old-fashioned bed, "is Ann." Callandar crossed the immaculate matting gingerly, taking Ann on faith, as it were, for, from the door, no; Ann was visible, only a very small dent in the big whiteness of the bed. "Ann!
We got the bread trencher for the wooden platter where the prisoner's crusts were put they were not mouldy, but we could not wait till they got so, and for the ewer we got the toilet jug out of the spare-room where nobody ever sleeps. And even then Albert-next-door couldn't be happy like the rest of us.
It may seem like taking a lot of trouble for nothing, but you never can tell. I ain't one of them that never prepares for anything. Jest as soon as Ann gets sick I move her right into the spare-room and put her into the best feathers. Then if she should be took sudden I wouldn't have anything to regret.
The next moment the spare-room seemed full of children, all, like Custard, in search of Patricia, and making, at sight of her, as swift an onslaught in her direction as the extreme length of their nightgowns would permit. So, after all, Christmas morning began merrily for them, at least. The doctor, coming home later from an early visit to the hotel, stopped outside Patricia's open door.
