Should it be thought that, in this way, the Lodge would not have light
enough, for the convenience of a man of a station competent to the office, the deficiency
might be supplied, by a void space, left in the center of that apartment, that part, all the way up. You may call it

the original. In the Inspector's Lodge rise those refreshing springs which stream
forth tea, orgeat, and capilliara. Ladies and Gentlemen perambulate the Intermediate

not repulsed by gratings, bars and tolls; but attracted by gauze, and catgut
and minionet.)
