The house is to be done up in all the proper tints, to have dados, wainscotings, and varnished floors. ‘Elizabethan easy-chairs with cabriole legs’ and an ‘elegant walnut Louis-Quatorze lady’s cabinet writing-table, handsomely inlaid with marquetrie’ are ordered for the drawing-room. The house is to be done up in all the proper tints, to have dados, wainscotings, and varnished floors. ‘Elizabethan easy-chairs with cabriole legs’ and an ‘elegant walnut Louis-Quatorze lady’s cabinet writing-table, handsomely inlaid with marquetrie.’ The stupidity of apparently intelligent workmen is sometimes very puzzling.
