[The Idler in France by Marguerite Gardiner]@TWC D-Link bookThe Idler in France CHAPTER XIX 3/14
A door on each side this large plate of glass opens into the smaller _salon_.
The portion of the house allotted to me will, when completed, be like fairy land.
A _salon_, destined to contain my buhl cabinets, _porcelaine de Sevres_, and rare _bijouterie_, opens into a library by two glass-doors, and in the pier which divides them is a large mirror filling up the entire space. In the library, that opens on a terrace, which is to be covered with a _berceau_, and converted into a garden, are two mirrors, _vis-a-vis_ to the two glass doors that communicate from the _salon_; so that on entering this last, the effect produced is exceedingly pretty.
Another large mirror is placed at the end of the library, and reflects the terrace. When my books and various treasures are arranged in this suite I shall be very comfortably lodged.
My _chambre a coucher_, dressing-room, and boudoir, are spacious, and beautifully decorated.
