"The day was, Donnel," said Sullivan, whilst he pointed, with a sigh, to the unfurnished chimney, "when we could give you as I said awhile agone a betther welcome in one sense I mane betther tratement than we can give you now; but you know the times that is in it, an' you know the down-come we have got, an' that the whole country has got so you must only take the will for the deed now to such as we have you're heartily welcome.
Flossie's face was crimson, too, while her thoughts flew to that unfurnished room in the brown house at Ealing. She was losing sight of Keith Rickman; for behind Keith Rickman there was Sidney Spinks; and behind Sidney Spinks there was the indomitable Dream. She did not look at Spinks, therefore, but gazed steadily at the top of Mr. Partridge's head.
My parents having gone, it became necessary for me to find lodgings which I did, "unfurnished," in the house of a Portuguese widow. Her husband, who had a good family name, had gone down in the world, and had disappeared with another "lady." The eldest son, a mathematical genius, had been able to pay his way through Cambridge University by the scholarships and prizes which he had won.
She lived with her guest for eight days in this house with the false bottom, so to speak, never appearing outside, wandering through the unfurnished rooms during the day, and returning to her hiding-place at night. They did not return to Tournebut till August 4th. The same day Soyer received a letter from Mme. Acquet, on the envelope of which she had written, "For Mama."
A sliding door of thick plate glass had been closed behind it, filling the space between the metal work and the curtain. Then the light in the brass lantern became extinguished. Standing rigidly, fists clenched, Paul Harley watched the curtain. And as he watched, slowly it was drawn aside. He found himself looking into a long room which appeared to be practically unfurnished.
'There is another house to let, he said; 'to tell the truth I had forgotten about it, for it has never been to let unfurnished before; and it would be considered too lonely for all the year round by most people. 'Are there no houses near? asked grandmamma.
Debby filled all the corners with home-made dainties of various sorts; and Clover, besides a spirit-lamp and a tea-pot, put into her trunks various small decorations, Japanese fans and pictures, photographs, a vase or two, books and a sofa-pillow, things which took little room, and which she thought would make their quarters look more comfortable in case they were very bare and unfurnished.
The heights of St. Christoval, which we occupied as a position to cover the siege, were strong, but quite unsheltered, and unfurnished with either wood or water. We were indebted for our supplies of the latter to the citizens of Salamanca; while stubbles and dry grass were our only fuel.
Henriette had to admit that she had at least one supporter. "But I believe," she added, "that your practice is better than your preaching." "It seems to be an ordinance of Nature," said Hadria, "that these things shall never correspond." Hadria said nothing more about her project, and when Henriette alluded to it, answered that it was still unfurnished with detail.
Accustomed to see great interests supported by slender means, I often said to myself that the expense of one fete would have organized the army of the United States; and to clothe that army I would willingly, according to the expression of M. de Maurepas, have unfurnished the palace of Versailles.
