The foyer of this dark house is dimly lit from black candles set about

the walls. The pall and oppression of this place is not relieved by

even this small illumination, as the greasy glow from these candles

seems to make the room only darker. You notice the unusual lack of

ornamentation here; there is no rug, nor do paintings line the walls

as they do in most large houses. A trio of chairs sits beside the

front door to the west, and you can see a staircase off to the east.
