sitting room

A knock at the door of the sitting-room, where they went when they were dressed, made them all turn.

The sitting-room was in dusk, and, as she entered, the firelight showed the huge body of the general lying upon the hearth rug.

In the sitting-room Mr. Foggatt sat with his head bowed over the table, quiet and still.

He did not seek to detain her, and they retraced their steps, speaking little by the way, until they came to his sitting-room.
