A rocking horse was hitched to the sofa, all the available furniture in the room had been converted into a rail-road train and toys were strewn about.
A ring at the bell; a neighbour said “As I was passing I saw you sitting here alone and couldn’t resist coming in. I trust I don’t interrupt.”

“What is your subject?”
” The beauty of the house is order”
