Context examples
What the devil does Sir John mean by not having a billiard room in his house?
(Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen)
It was evident that we had entirely miscalculated his movements, that he had never been to his bedroom, but that he had been sitting up in some smoking or billiard room in the farther wing of the house, the windows of which we had not seen.
(The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
