DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Dramatic Inventions Five Pieces The orchid-room in Valerian Craughton's country house in Oxfordshire. It is a large vaulted hall of white stone, the walls of which are opened by arches and made articulate by simple pilasters. The arch on the left leads to a library, that on the right to a drawing-room, and the middle one of the three in the rear, to a loggia which overlooks a valley. The other two are closed, and are occupied by marble fountains. The walls of the conservatory are covered with green lattice-work, eighteenth century. Boxes of orchids hang from the vaulted ceiling in brilliant showers and spring from the sides in single spots of colour. Along the wall stand bushes of gardenias, and in the corners are palms and ferns. The floor is tiled with purple tiles and a spreading marble basin rests in its centre. There are water and gold-fish in the basin. Out in the loggia may be seen a tea-table which bears a gold service. The chairs and tables are the same colour as the lattice. The sun is setting and painting inferior Claude-Monets all over the sky. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
