"An omnibus?" he echoes. "What is't? I would glad see one, or what else of Paris thou wouldst show me."
Once Feuilly is ready to follow, Harry's off down a closely winding staircase, which he clatters down at what is surely an unwise speed given the narrowness of the passage, the smallness of the steps themselves. But he manages not to break his neck before he reaches the bottom, and passes into the great hall.
Harry's grandfather was brother to a king, and liked to make sure no one could forget it. The hall is immense: six fireplaces; massive windows with elaborate tracery; a high, arched ceiling. And it is assuredly not empty. This is the hub and heart of the house. There are servants, there are ladies and gentlemen, all of whom seem to be about some business or other, even if it is only conversation.
