The wainscoting, of clean white pine, ascended four feet and ended in a narrow ledge or shelf, devised, as they afterwards discovered, to hold photographs or small pictures which the rules prohibited them from placing on the walls.

The walls were painted a light buff.

The furniture consisted of two single-width beds, two chiffoniers, a study table and two straight-backed chairs.

The beds were against the opposite walls, the table in the geometrical centre of the rug, the chiffoniers occupied a portion of the remaining wall space on each side and the two chairs were set between beds and bureaus.

The window was in a slight bay and there was a six-foot seat below it.
