To it went also the jewel-case between the lady's social engagements, and when in due course "the family" journeyed north or south, east or west whenever, in short, the London house was closed, its capacious storerooms received the plate-chest as an established custom.
Without speaking of the complete rig which would serve for the vessel now on the stocks, utensils and tools of all sorts, weapons and ammunition, clothes and instruments, were now piled in the storerooms of Granite House. It had not even been necessary to resort again to the manufacture of the coarse felt materials.
