Yes, indeed, we did.
This room wuz on the cool side of the house, and the still side.
And it wuz big and furnished beautiful.
It wuzn't Miss Plank's taste, I could see that. No, her taste is fervent and gorgeous.
Gildin' is her favorite embellishment, and chromos, high-colored, and red. This room wuz covered with pure white mattin', and such rugs on it scattered over the floor as I never see, and don't know as I ever shall see agin. Some on 'em was pure white silky fur, and some on 'em as rich in colorin' as the most wonderful sunset colors you ever see in the red and golden west, or in the trees of a maple forest in October. And such pictures as hung on the walls I never see. Why, on one side of the room hung a picture that looked as if you wuz a-gazin' right out into a green field at sunset.
