There is a mantel-piece on one side of it, separating two windows which look out on Madison Square. On the opposite side is a desk; and a little beyond this is the door leading into Mrs. Willoughby's bedroom. The door at the back of the parlor opens into the hall of the hotel. There is a sofa before the fireplace. There is an easel near one of the windows, empty, but with a silk flag thrown over it carelessly. In one of the upper corners stands a piano.
