The dining-room in the White homestead was a large, low room whose southward windows were shaded at this season with a cloud of gold-green young grape leaves.

The paper was a nondescript pattern, a large satin scroll on white.

The room was wainscoted in white, and the panel-work around the great chimney was beautiful.

A Franklin stove with a pattern of grape-vines was built into the chimney under the high mantel.

Sylvia regarded this dubiously.
"I don't think much of that old-fashioned Franklin stove," she told Henry.
