"Where does this door lead to?"
"Into an anteroom where my lady visitors take off their cloaks; you came that way when you visited me the first time."
"And the other little door?"
"Oh, never mind that—it only leads to my dressing-room."
"Has it no exit?"
"None; the water comes by a pipe from the kitchen, and flows away by a tap to the basement."
"And this third door?"
"You know that is the corridor by which you reach the principal entrance."
"And where are the servants at night?"
"The females sleep near the kitchen, and the men in the basement. Over my bed hang two bell-ropes, of which one goes to the women's room and the other to the men's."
