Excerpt from Aunt Anne, Vol. 2 of 2 Well, Mrs. Hooper, she said to the landlady, smilingly, but with the condescend ing a1r of a patroness, you see I have not forgotten you, and if your rooms are still at liberty I should like to inspect them again Yes, ma'am, certainly they are at liberty, said Mrs. Hooper, who felt convinced that, in spite of the shabby cloak with the clasp, the spare old lady must be some grand personage in disguise I shall be only too glad if they please you. Mrs. Baines inspected them carefully, two little rooms on the drawing-room floor, a bed room and a sitting-room. She looked at the pictures, she winked at herself in the looking glass, she gently shook the side-table to see if it was rickety. She tried the springs of the easy-chair, and the softness of the sofa cushions. She asked if the chimney had been properly swept, and whether there was a draught from the windows.
