The only exception to the complete re-organization of the interior was at one extremity of the edifice, on the first and second floors.

Here there happened, in each case, to be rooms of such comparatively moderate size, and so attractively decorated, that the architect suggested leaving them as they were.

It was afterwards discovered that these were no other than the apartments formerly occupied by Lord Montbarry (on the first floor), and by Baron Rivar (on the second).

The room in which Montbarry had died was still fitted up as a bedroom, and was now distinguished as Number Fourteen.

The room above it, in which the Baron had slept, took its place on the hotel-register as Number Thirty-Eight.
