In the centre stood a round table, which left small space for moving about, and was at present covered with refreshments.

A polished sideboard supported a row of dessert-plates propped on their edges, and a number of glass vessels, probably meant for ornament alone, as they could not possibly have been put to any use.

A low cupboard in a recess was surmounted by a frosted cardboard model of St.Paul's under a glass case, behind which was reared an oval tray painted with flowers..

Over the mantel-piece was the regulation mirror, its gilt frame enveloped in coarse yellow gauze; the mantel-piece itself bore a 'wealth' of embellishments in glass and crockery.

On each side of it hung a framed silhouette, portraits of ancestors.
