a spacious, handsome and tastefully furnished drawing-room, decorated in dark colors, a wide doorway with curtains drawn back, leading into a smaller room decorated in the same style as the drawing-room. In the right-hand wall of the front room, a folding out to the hall. In the opposite wall, on the left, a glass door, also with curtains drawn back. Trough the panes can be seen part of a verandah outside, and trees covered with autumn foliage. An oval table, with a cover on it, and surrounded by chairs, stands well forward. In front of, by the wall on the right, a wide stove of dark porcelain, a high-backed arm-chair, a cushioned foot-rest, and two foot-stools. A settee, with round table in front of it, fills the upper right-hand corner. In front, on the left, a little way from the well, a sofa. Farther back than the glass door, a piano. On either side of the doorway at the back a whatnot with terra-cotta and majolica ornaments. Against the back wall of the inner room a sofa hangs the portrait of a handsome slderly man in a General's unifrom. Over the table a hanging lamp, with an opal glass shade. A number of bouqueta are arranged about the drawing-room, in vases and glasses. Others lie upon the tables. The floors in both rooms are covered with thick carpets. Morning light. The sun shines in through the glass door.
