It was a large room with low ceiling, quaintly papered in very old creamy paper, scattered with delicately cut green leaves, but so carefully had the room been kept, that it was still clean.

There were four large windows to let in light and air, freshly washed white curtains hanging over the deep green shades.

The floor was carpeted with a freshly washed rag carpet stretched over straw, the bed was invitingly clean and looked comfortable, there was a wash stand with bowl and pitcher, soap and towels, a small table with a lamp, a straight-backed chair and a rocking chair.

Mrs.Holt opened a large closet having hooks for dresses at one end and shelves at the other.

On the top of these there were a comfort and a pair of heavy blankets.
"Your winter covers," said Mrs.Holt, indicating these, "and there is a good stove I take out in summer to make more room, and set up as soon as it gets cold, and that is a wood box." She pointed out a shoe box covered with paper similar to that on the walls.
Kate examined the room carefully, the bed, the closet, and tried the chairs.
