Excerpt from The Countess Dubarry: Introd, by R. Brimley Johnson, Illustrated by R. W. Matthews
The staircase, narrow and steep even at its commencement in the hall below, became still more narrow and more steep from the third story, on which Jacques lived, to the rooms above. It was therefore with considerable difficulty that they reached what was really a loft. Therese was right for once; it was neither more nor less than a loft, divided into four compartments, three of which were uninhabited.
To say the truth, they were all, except the one destined for Gilbert, uninhabitable.
