You enter a room about 10 foot long and 5 foot wide. The rustic stone walls are uneven, then glass in the one window is over-leaded and looks out onto the night sky. Candles burn in holders on the wall with mirrors behind. On small tables all around are piled books and charts and peieces of paper. A new-looking green leather armchair stands beside an identical but well-worn, battered one. Feet on the desk, a tall man with a mop of long brown hair under a black felt hat is lying slouched in the newer looking chair.
