Description
Excerpt from Mammon
The shutters were closed and the gas alight, in one of those highly respectable semi-detached villas which adorn Lichfield Road, Maida Hill, N. W. - an exceedingly genteel though decidedly bourgeois quarter. It was a chill, foggy evening towards the end of October, some five or six years ago, and dinner was being served to two gentlemen, in the fairly well-furnished but rather bare dining-room. There was the usual massive table, one arm and twelve unarmed chairs - all remarkably solid and covered in leather a good deal the worse of the wear, - a sideboard, a plate-warmer, a dark, much worn carpet, faded curtains once deep red, and a few old-fashioned prints on the walls.
A clock on the mantelshelf was the sole ornament. Of flowers, knick-knacks, bronze or china, there were none. Nevertheless there were no signs of neglect.
