In some of the rooms there were bats hanging to the ceilings.

We didn't disturb them.

One of the rooms was called the governor's room.

There wasn't any governor there, of course, but it had been made by the jolly old earl who had the place cut out,--and who was governor here at the time,--as a place where he might retire when he wanted to be private.

It was the most private apartment I ever saw.
