A few cane-chairs against the wall, an old black-oak wardrobe near the door, and the sewing-table of Madame von Werrig in the window-niche, completed the furniture of the room.
"Yes, you have my permission for that." "I thank you, Frau von Werrig. Now, general, I will bring you some warm coverings right away."
