The Colonel and his orderly would be lodged in two of the bedrooms.

Vivie and her mother would share Mrs.Warren's large bedroom and retain the salon for their exclusive occupation.

They would use the dining-room in common with their guest.
Vivie looking out of the windows occasionally, as they passed from room to room, saw the remainder of the soldiery strolling off to be lodged at their nearest neighbour's, the farmer who had driven them in to Brussels that morning.

There were perhaps thirty, accompanying a young lieutenant.

How would he find room for them, poor man?
They were more fortunate in being asked only to lodge six or seven in addition to the Colonel's orderly and soldier-clerk.
