Old Lord Lochrain would- hotel there was nothing much to do there, except to put in a few more bits of furniture to add a little to the comfort.” “Used old Lord Lochrain to occupy my room, then?” asked Elspeth. “Oh, dear, no.

Breakfast was hurried over so that she might steal time for a few words with the housekeeper before going to Mr. McGowan, and as an excuse she began by asking Mrs. Warden if she might make some little changes in the arrangement of the furniture in her room.

And the nicer the man's mind, the less he seems to know of women. There’s good Mr. Kenrilh, for instance.
