It is like coming out from a cathedral into broad daylight.

The furniture, of gilt wood and Genoese velvet, looks very bright.

The walls are white and gold; and flowers are everywhere.

At the end is Madame Desvarennes's bedroom, because she does not like mounting stairs, and lives on the ground floor.

Adjoining it is a conservatory, furnished as a drawing-room, and serving as a boudoir for the mistress of the house.
The dining-room, the gun-room, and the smoking-room are in the right wing.
