Reseña del editor
His rooms at theB eaverwyck were very comfortable without being luxurious. Their arrangement showed a cosmopolitan taste and gave evidence of foreign travel. Family pictures were mingled with those of footlight favourites. Over the divan hung aT urkish canopy surrounded with odds and ends of weapons from divers lands: An assegai from South Africa with an axe from Lapland. A Jap anese scimitar crossed a modern cavalry sword, and groups of firearms were arranged on either side of the fireplace. An Arabesque stand, with brass tray, held an outfit for making Turkish coffee, and on the side-table was a miscellaneous assortment of pipes. AC hibouque from Constantinople, an opium pipe from theO rient, and aN argileh from the banks of theN ile. All around and about were evidences of bachelor carelessness regarding general arrangements and clothes.
