Taboret

Tom said he left the keys by the taboret, but that was of little help to Mary, who had no idea what a taboret actually is.

Mary was too proud to admit she didn't know what a taboret is.

He sat close to her on a low tabouret, and as he spoke his fingers lightly touched the hair that fell a little over her forehead.

They lie upon a big dim doily draping a taboret (part of the set), beside a big hirsute begonia.
