A bedroom in the roof in early morning sun, from the doorway. The ceiling slopes down steeply on both sides to low knee walls, with a flat band at the top, all lined in white tongue-and-groove boards. In the gable wall ahead, a plain window in an anthracite frame looks out over misty fields and gritstone edges. A black iron bed with white linen and a grey checked blanket, a wooden chair as a bedside table, a sheepskin and a woven rug on the pine floor, a basket, and low built-in cupboard doors along the knee walls.
