There is sugar and honey; a little of either added will make it much more palatable, as honey is soothing and acts well for the lungs. I will try the honey." This being disposed of they proceed to supper, Colonel Ridley leading the way to the supper-room, and on entering found the family all standing, waiting.
But Burgo, as we know, had not "arranged it." It may be remembered that when Mr Palliser came back to his wife in the supper-room at Lady Monk's, bringing with him the scarf which Lady Glencora had left up-stairs, Burgo was no longer with her. He had become well aware that he had no chance left, at any rate for that night.
They had their supper together again as on the evening before, but Madge was carelessly languid and fitful in her mirthful sallies, and complained of over-fatigue. "I won't come down again to-night," she said to Graydon as they passed out of the supper-room. "Good-night." "Good-night, Madge," he replied, taking her hand in both his own.
"Mind the north gate . . . tell Andy I'm all right and make him look after himself . . . he's overworking . . . if you want to send a message to the other people you'd better send by Nazri . . . if the Badas mean business they'll shut up the road you go by. That's all. Good luck and thanks very much." Lewis found Mrs. Logan making a final inspection of the supper-room.
Abercrombie: "Yes; anything strange in that?" "Less strange than sad," was replied. "I don't wonder you saw the color go out of Mrs. Abercrombie's face." "Why so? What does it mean?" "It means sorrow and heartbreak." "You surprise and pain me. I thought of the lady by his side, not of the glass of wine in his hand." The two men left the crowded supper-room in order to be more alone.
I saw someone who looked like Franching, from Peckham, and was moving towards him when she seized me by the coat-tails, and said quite loudly: "Don't leave me," which caused an elderly gentleman, in a court-suit, and a chain round him, and two ladies, to burst out laughing. There was an immense crowd in the supper-room, and, my stars! it was a splendid supper any amount of champagne.
Sally May and her committee were responsible for decorating the supper-room, Peggy Forrest was to look after the coloured lanterns, Judith was to see that the smiling Italian and his wife, who took turns at the hurdy-gurdy, each had a rest in the warm kitchen and some supper, "and be sure," cautioned wise Nancy, "that the maids keep back enough for our own supper afterwards."
There is a pretty picture of that ancient supper-room at No. 2 Bulfinch Place, Boston Miss Fisher's kitchen as it appeared when William Warren sat behind the mound of lobsters, at the head of the table, while the polished pewters reflected the cheerful light, and wit and raillery enlivened the happy throng, and many a face was wreathed with smiles that now is dark and still forever.
Violet went directly from the supper-room to her own apartments, where she found the two little girls quietly talking together, while Agnes gathered up the remainder of their repast and carried it and the dishes away. "I hope you enjoyed your supper, dears," she said. They both said they had, and thanked her for it.
The cloud having blown over, we all repaired to the supper-room, and nothing could exceed our happiness as we sat at meat or vegetables.
