When young Amory de Valance was here last Lammastide he looked kindly upon the girl, and even spoke of taking her into his service. The farther end of the room was completely filled by a four-post bedstead, with a scalloped valance for decoration. Large valances of silk, embroidered with flowers of gay colors, which were rather faded, fell from the wide windows; the fittings of the room were simple, but in excellent taste. |
