It was an exceedingly pretty room—perfectly lovely, as the more appropriate description would be. White and gold were the main characteristics. Mr Bampfylde had probably seen some of the bridal apartments which are fitted up most gorgeously, in many of the American hotels. Only those who have been at Saratoga can imagine such a very pretty room. The private bedrooms at Windsor Castle are nothing to them. Here was golden knocker No. I. The room would have aroused all Victor Hugo’s enthusiasm respecting a vestal chamber, as in ‘ Les Miserablcs.’ It argued a delicacy of tone and taste about the old mau for which I had hardly given him credit.
