Between the bureaus there is plenty of space for access to the long west window and consequently to the parapet which can be used like a balcony.

Two small arm-chairs in green leather on either side of the fireplace, two office chairs at the tables and a revolving chair at each bureau complete the furniture of the partners' room of _Fraser and Warren_ as you would have seen it twenty years ago.
The rest of their offices consisted of a landing from which a lift and a staircase descended, a waiting-room for clients, pleasantly furnished, a room in which two female clerks worked, and off this a small room tenanted by an office boy.

You may also add in imagination an excellent lavatory for the clerks, two telephones (one in the partners' room), hidden safes, wall-maps; and you must visualize everything as pleasing in colour--green, white, and purple--flooded with light; clean, tidy, and admirably adapted for business in the City.
Vivien Warren, as already mentioned, was, as the curtain goes up, seated at her bureau, reading a letter.

The letter was headed "Camp Hospital, Colesberg, Cape Colony, May 2, 1900"; and ran thus:-- DEAREST VIVIE,-- Here I am still, but my leg is mending fast.

The enteric was the worse trouble.
