It was lighted by lamps sus pended from the delicately-coloured ceiling, and by a large fire that burnt brightly in the open grate. Standing on the left side of the hearth, with one elbow leaning on the high marble mantelpiece, was a young man of apparently twenty-three or twenty-four years. He had remained motionless, with his face half-buried in his hand, while his father had thus bitterly questioned him; only rousing himself slightly as he gave his monosyllabic answers. There were three other occupants of the room - a fair, pale lady with restless, light coloured eyes that shot quick glances every now and again from father to son; a child, with dark-hanging, heavy hair, and awkward hands, engaged in some plain needlework that seemed to require careful attention, for her head was bent down low over it; and a. Man of about thirty, lounging back in a large arm-chair, reading a newspaper, which he occasionally rustled impatiently. The small clock on the mantelpiece ticked loudly and jarringly, during the long pause that ensued, after the elderly man's satirical outburst.
