He did his writing in it, and the flints and fossils he discovered in his excavations were stored in the cupboards.

His meals were always taken up there, and last night he ordered the dinner to be taken up there as usual, and the table to be laid for two.

Charles waited at table, but I was up there twice--first time with some sherry, and the second time was about an hour afterwards, when the gentlemen had finished dinner.

I took up a bottle of some old brandy that the inn used to be famous for--it's the same that you gentlemen have been drinking.

When I knocked at the door with the brandy it was Mr.Glenthorpe who called 'Come in!' He was standing in front of the fire, with a fossil in his hand, and he was telling the young man about how he came to discover it.
