Parlor

# 005

This cozy lounge furnished with couches and
armchairs serves as the perfect social setting for
receptions and after parties. Consequently this was
one of the most popular rooms for entertaining and
the late H. S. Sinclair was known to supply a myriad
of parlor games to encourage his guests to think and
conversate.

Funeral Parlor

This solemn room exudes an atmosphere of reflection,
logic and measured mourning. A dignified parlor game
has been strategically placed a short distance from
the casket, providing the bereaved with a gentle
distraction. A fitting tribute, we think, to the
deceased’s fondness for puzzles.

Poem

Herbert S. Sinclair
Baron of Mount Holly

1920-1993

To the dreams I keep,
To the schemes I cling,
To my task, Let it last.
Let it sleep.

To the friends I made,
To the ends I braved,
Of the past, Let it last.
Let it sleep.

To the steps I laid,
Just to call it a day,
One last draft, Let it last.
Let it sleep.

To my soul bequest,
To the last role left,
Oh my mask, Let it last.
Let me sleep.

Letter

from M. Lowry to H. S. Sinclair

Dear Herbert:
dine at your estate with the Oldhams this past Thursday.
If I’m being frank, it had been quite a while since we
had been seen in decent society and we were beginning
to worry that my wife’s wit had lost its charm (I have no
delusions that my company is rival to hers!)
much of that evening discussing our mutual love of games
and puzzles and I had mentioned to you a rather
singular parlor game I had played some years back
involving three boxes of different colors. You had pressed
me to write with the particulars of this game (when I
found the time) and I have included with this letter all
the details you will need to share with guests should you
be inclined to play this confounding game.

13. Lowry
