“I will take it,” she said, “with curtains to match.”
“Yes, madame.”
“And carpets.”
“Here they are.”
“What can you give me for another room?”
“These oak chairs, this table with twisted legs, and green damask curtains.”
“And for a bedroom?”
“A large and handsome bed, a counterpane of velvet embroidered in rose-color and silver, an excellent couch, and blue curtains.”
“And for my dressing-room?”
“A toilet-table hung with Mechlin lace; chest of drawers with marqueterie; sofa and chairs of tapestry. The whole came from the bedroom of Madame de Pompadour at Choisy.”
