Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Town Other Conversations The reader is to picture Mrs. Fletcher´s drawing room. It has white panelled walls, a dark, polished floor, and Adams chairs of gold - colored cane and gaily painted wood, standing at distances suggestive of intimate conversation. One or two charming contemporary French pictures, an elaborate Florentine mirror, antique gilt sconces for the lights, and two remarkably good examples of Chinese porcelain, are the only ornaments to be seen. There are a few books lying about, evidently those of a woman, as they are for the most part of the modern school scorned by the American man. They show a becoming interest in the arts and a tendency, in the poetry and fiction, to intimate analysis that implies a person awakened. The room is restrained and has an effect of discrimination that is to be won only by elimination. One feels that its creator has learned the value, in a crowded life, of surroundings that give an artificial suggestion of deliberation and tranquility.
