Satin hangings covered the walls; the furniture was upholstered with rare gobelin tapestry.
Gilded cabinets veneered with tortoise-shell held, behind glass doors, all sorts of costly toys, and dolls in full costume.

On a Venetian table with mosaic top lay a pack of cards and three heaps of money--one of gold, one of silver, the third of copper.

On a low, three-legged table was a something shaped like an organ, with a long row of metal and wooden pipes.

Near the window stood a drawing-table, on which were sheets of drawing-board, and glasses containing pulverized colors.

There was also a bookcase; on the shelves were volumes of Vertuch's "Orbis pictus," the "Portefeuille des enfants," the "History of Robinson Crusoe," and several numbers of a fashion magazine, the "Album des salons," the illustrations of which lay scattered about on tables and chairs.
The guests were all assembled; not one was missing.
