Delicate lace curtains hung before the small, square, broad-silled windows.

The walls were adorned with pictures in much finer taste than Mrs.Griggs could appreciate.

There was a bookcase between the windows filled with choicely bound books.

Beside it stood a little table with a very dainty work-basket on it.

By the basket Mrs.Griggs saw a pair of tiny scissors and a silver thimble.
