A Room With a View by E.M. Forster: Chapter 1
Part One.Chapter I: The Bertolini The Signora had no business to do it," said Miss Bartlett, "no business at all. She promised us south rooms with a view close together, instead of which here are north rooms, looking into a courtyard, and a long way apart. "And a Cockney, besides!" "This meat has surely been used for soup," said Miss Bartlett, laying down her fork. "I want so to see the Arno. "Any nook does for me," Miss Bartlett continued; "but it does seem hard that you shouldn't have a view." Lucy felt that she had been selfish. ------"You must have it," said Miss Bartlett, part of whose travelling expenses were paid by Lucy's mother--a piece of generosity to which she made many a tactful allusion.
