"No, don't praise me," said honest Lady Clavering, "it's all the upholsterer's doings and Captain Strong's, they did it all while we was at the Park and and Lady Rockminster has been here and says the salongs are very well," said Lady Clavering, with an air and tone of great deference. "My cousin Laura has been staying with her," Pen said. "It's not the dowager: it is the Lady Rockminster."
"We had it, but we're out of it now. You'll get that goods at an upholsterer's." I went across the street to an upholsterer's. "Have you any stuff like this?" I asked.

When the first canto of "Childe Harold" was published, Byron presented the copyright to Mr. Dallas, declaring that he would never receive money for his writings, a resolution which he afterwards wisely abandoned.

Happily there is as little need as temptation to give any description of it, with its sheets of glass and steel, its lace curtains, crude-colored walls and floor and couches, and glittering chandeliers of a thousand prisms.
"Furniture!" snorted Melrose. "Have you any idea, sir, what this house contains?" Undershaw shook his head. Melrose pondered a moment, and took breath. Then he turned to Undershaw. "You are going back to Pengarth? You pass that shop, Barclay's the upholsterer's. Tell him to send me over four men here to-morrow, to do what they're told. Stop also at the nurseryman's Johnson's.
