chimneypiece

Richard laid the shillings on the chimneypiece, and proceeded to make up the fire before he went.

He swayed and caught at the ledge of the chimneypiece, almost knocking over one of the two candles which burned there.

Would the lady object to my lighting the pair of candles on the chimneypiece, to throw a further light upon the subject?

I am quite at your command, and I went and leaned against the chimneypiece.

Lyell's picture now hangs over my chimneypiece, and uncommonly glad I am to have it, and thank you for it.
