References to "BATHROOM" in Ransome's stories:

BS - ch9
Mrs. Barrable gives permission to Dick and Tom
to use her bathroom as a temporary darkroom.

BS - ch22
Dick and Tom use Mrs. Barrable's bathroom as a
temporary darkroom to develop some test prints.

ML - ch13
Missee Lee shows them a Chinese bathroom, with a
huge earthenware water kong and a dipper for
dipping out the water. In that room, they are
shown a small packet with a printed label,
"Wright's Coal Tar Soap" and three or four
big sponges on a bamboo rack above a row of
towels.

PM - ch5
They are frantically trying to get the rooms
converted to receive the G.A. remembering to put
water in the bathroom, and roses in various
places, including the mantlepiece, which
shows there is a fireplace in the spare room.

This is the ONLY reference to the bathroom in
Beckfoot, but it gives no indication as to
WHERE it is.
