salle a manger

A salle à manger brimming with potted palms and suffused with mist.

Lord Francis Douglas and I dined at the Monte Rosa, and had just finished when Mr. Hudson and a friend entered the salle à manger.

He then apologised to Jaqueline, and taking her hand, and bowing respectfully, led her out of the room toward the salle à manger, from whence issued certain savoury odours, which operated more powerfully upon the hungry maiden than could all the fine speeches he continued to utter.

This is the salle à manger, is it not?

Scene: The salle a manger of the Bank of France in the Hotel de Toulouse, an historic palace built by the great architect Francois Mansart, for a natural son of Louis XIV.
