Over the Misty Mountains
“Taking Mrs. Martin at her word, he had made a ballroom second to none among the private mansions in Boston. It was a large rectangular room, well-lit by three cut-glass chandeliers and many gilded mirror-backed sconces placed around the entire room. The floor was an alabaster-colored marble. The walls were plain, except where they met the ceiling, and here a very ornate border of white tinplates circled the room. Large pillars placed about six feet from the outside walls formed arches at the ce...iling and provided a grand entrance to the ballroom floor. Behind these pillars were many serving tables, covered with white silk damask. The tables held cut-crystal punch bowls and cups and delectable-looking food.
Silver tureens of soup, platters of cold lobster, potted meats, spit-roasted venison, beef, and goose filled the room with their aromas. Large bowls of oyster sauce, chestnut stuffing, spinach, and peach flummery filled the other tables along with a selection of cheeses expertly placed on the delicately engraved silver trays.MoreLess
