I TWO LITTLE ROOMS TWO LITTLE ROOMS THE Supplng-Room of Mary Stuart,in Holyrood Palace, is the smallestof the royal suite. It is a mere closet,and now bare and depressing to a degreeutterly incompatible with our ideas oftolerable comfort, until we remind our-selves that the stone walls were oncemasked by richly wrought hangings andthe cold floors softened by carpetsbrought, or imported, by Mary into rug-ged Scotland from her beloved France. A small door opens into a closet usedfor storing wines and other accompani-ments of the petits sotipers which theQueen was fond of giving to her inti-mates. The entrance to the supping-roomis from her bedchamber. The walls ofthis are still hung with tapestries selected3 4 Where Ghosts Walk by her, a faded confusion of knights inarmour and plunging horses. The cano-pied bed, covered with a tattered silk cov-erlet, was also hers. Over the mantel is ahalf-length portrait of Queen Elizabeth
