There was no superfluous ornament in the room - not one modern piece of furniture , save a brace of workboxes and a lady s desk in rosewood , which stood on a side - table : everything - including the carpet and curtains - looked at once well worn and well saved 除了放在书桌上的对针线盒和青木女用书台,房间里没有多余的装饰品没有一件现代家具。包括地毯和窗帘在内的一切,看上去既陈旧而又保养得很好。
