I asked if anyone slept in this gallery, as I noticed a bed, and fireplace, and rods, by means of which curtains might be drawn, enclosing one portion where were bed and fireplace, so as to convert it into a very cosy chamber. I ASKED IF ANYONE SLEPT IN THIS GALLERY AS I NOTICED A BED AND FIREPLACE AND RODS BY MEANS OF WHICH CURTAINS MIGHT BE DRAWN INCLOSING ONE PORTION WHERE WERE BED AND FIREPLACE SO AS TO CONVERT IT INTO A VERY COSY CHAMBER
n I retired. Once in bed, I slept so soundly that my servant's entrance the next morning failed to arouse me, and it was past nine when I awoke. After breakfast and the disposal of the newspapers, Lynton retired to his letters, and I asked Lady Lynton if one of her daughters might show me the house. Elizabeth, the eldest, was summoned, and seemed in no way to dislike the task. The house was, as already intimated, by no means large; it occupied three sides of a square, the entrance and one end of the stables making the fourth side. The interior was full of interest--passages, rooms, galleries, as well as hall, were panelled in dark wood and hung with pictures. I was shown everything on the ground floor, and then on the first floor. Then my guide proposed that we should ascend a narrow twisting staircase that led to a gallery. We did as proposed, and entered a handsome long room or passage, leading to a small chamber at one end, in which my guide told me her father kept books and papers. MUST HAVE BEEN NEAR THREE WHEN I RETIRED ONCE IN BED I SLEPT SO SOUNDLY THAT MY SERVANT'S ENTRANCE THE NEXT MORNING FAILED TO AROUSE ME AND IT WAS PAST NINE WHEN I AWOKE AFTER BREAKFAST AND THE DISPOSAL OF THE NEWSPAPERS LYNTON RETIRED TO HIS LETTERS AND I ASKED LADY LYNTON IF ONE OF HER DAUGHTERS MIGHT SHOW ME THE HOUSE ELIZABETH THE ELDEST WAS SUMMONED AND SEEMED IN NO WAY TO DISLIKE THE TASK THE HOUSE WAS AS ALREADY INTIMATED BY NO MEANS LARGE IT OCCUPIED THREE SIDES OF A SQUARE THE ENTRANCE AND ONE END OF THE STABLES MAKING THE FOURTH SIDE THE INTERIOR WAS FULL OF INTEREST PASSAGES ROOMS GALLERIES AS WELL AS HALL WERE PANELLED IN DARK WOOD AND HUNG WITH PICTURES I WAS SHOWN EVERYTHING ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND THEN ON THE FIRST FLOOR THEN MY GUIDE PROPOSED THAT WE SHOULD ASCEND A NARROW TWISTING STAIRCASE THAT LED TO A GALLERY WE DID AS PROPOSED AND ENTERED A HANDSOME LONG ROOM OR PASSAGE LEADING TO A SMALL CHAMBER AT ONE END IN WHICH MY GUIDE TOLD ME HER FATHER KEPT BOOKS AND PAPERS
