Mrs. Warren’s Daughter

CHAPTER I
2/48

There is another series of shelves crowded with neat, green, tin boxes containing the papers of clients.

A dark green-and-purple portiere partly conceals the entry into a washing place which is further fitted with a gas stove for cooking and cupboards for crockery and provisions.

At the opposite end of the room is a door which opens into a small bedroom.

The fireplace in the main room is fitted with the best and least smelly kind of gas stove obtainable in 1900.
There are two square tables covered with piles of documents neatly tied with green tape and ranged round the central vase of flowers; a heavy, squat earthenware vase not easily knocked over; and there is a second bureau with pigeon-holes and a roll top, similar to the one at which Vivien Warren is seated.

This is for the senior partner, Honoria Fraser.
