The flames leaped merrily under the great carved mantel-piece in her white-panelled drawing-room, showing the date 1661, and the initials of the man who had put it there, and on its narrow shelf a row of Chelsea figures which she had picked up in various corners of Oxford.
"Oh, he doesn't have to now, you know; and I want him to enjoy himself," she said quite simply. I looked about the spacious white-panelled room, with its famille-verte vases repeating the tones of the pale damask curtains, and its eighteenth-century pastels in delicate faded frames. "Has he chucked his pictures too? I haven't seen a single one in the house."
When Owen was safely gone Toni entered the house with a look of determination on her face, and retreating to the little white-panelled room known as the morning-room she rang the bell to summon Kate to her presence. It was not Kate who answered the ring, however.
The room was white-panelled and chintz-curtained. About those two bright centres of light were warm dark shadow, in which a circular mirror shone like a pool of brown water. I carried off my raid by behaving like a slave of etiquette.
"I've only asked a few," she explained, as she led Joan into the restful white-panelled sitting-room that looked out upon the gardens. Madge shared a set of chambers in Gray's Inn with her brother who was an actor. "But I have chosen them with care." Joan murmured her thanks. "I haven't asked any men," she added, as she fixed Joan in an easy chair before the fire.
He found him at breakfast alone in the long, low-ceilinged, white-panelled dining-room at Rabouillet's the only home that Andre-Louis had ever known and after embracing him, deafened him with his denunciation of M. de La Tour d'Azyr. "I have heard of it already," said Andre-Louis. "You speak as if the thing had not surprised you," his friend reproached him.
"Jove, I'm sorry to hear that," and Logan's expression confirmed his words. "I wanted to see him badly. Let me think. Who else is here? What about Mr. Pindar?" "Hasn't been in, sir, for weeks," was the reply. "Gee!" muttered Logan. He seemed worried, and in the brilliant light of the fine hall white-panelled, and hung with clever caricatures of well-known men his face was pale and even drawn.
"Oh, he doesn't HAVE to now, you know; and I want him to enjoy himself," she said quite simply. I looked about the spacious white-panelled room, with its famille-verte vases repeating the tones of the pale damask curtains, and its eighteenth-century pastels in delicate faded frames.

Rohan alighted, and went upstairs with a casket under his arm. Madame awaited him in a white-panelled, indifferently lighted room, to which there was an alcove with glass doors. "You have brought the necklace?" "It is here," he replied, tapping the box with his gloved hand. "Her Majesty is expecting it to-night. Her messenger should arrive at any moment. She will be pleased with Your Eminence."
The cluster of lights in the heavy crystal chandelier and the green-shaded electric lamps in their gilt sconces on the plain white-panelled walls coldly lit up the formal, little-used room with its gilt furniture, painted piano, and huge marble fireplace. This glittering Louis Seize environment seemed altogether too much for the homely Inspector.
