Our patrons value the advantages of a shop devoted to Carpets and Upholsterings. We offer exclusive attention to moquettes, body Brussels, tapestry Brussels and ingrain patterns. Extensive lines include rugs, lace curtains, chenille portiers, oil cloths, linoleum, and all trimmings with an immense first floor stock.
The narrator, Hervey, recalls tranquil moments from a long day, reading Reveries of a Bachelor, and imagines Madeline as he contemplates an imminent wedding.

A later exchange with an undertaker reveals embalming fluids as poisons that preserve bodies, with anecdotes about posthumous hair growth and long preservation.
