It was a large but exceedingly low-pitched room, the only one let

by the Kapernaumovs, to whose rooms a closed door led in the wall

on the left. In the opposite side on the right hand wall was

another door, always kept locked. That led to the next flat,

which formed a separate lodging. Sonia's room looked like a barn;

it was a very irregular quadrangle and this gave it a grotesque

appearance. A wall with three windows looking out on to the canal

ran aslant so that one corner formed a very acute angle, and it

was difficult to see in it without very strong light. The other

corner was disproportionately obtuse. There was scarcely any

furniture in the big room: in the corner on the right was a

bedstead, beside it, nearest the door, a chair. A plain, deal

table covered by a blue cloth stood against the same wall, close

to the door into the other flat. Two rush-bottom chairs stood by

the table.
