A sofa upholstered in prune plush had been translocated from opposite the door to the ingleside near the compactly furled union jack an alteration which he had frequently intended to execute : the blue and white checker inlaid majolicatopped table had been placed opposite the door in the place vacated by the prune plush sofa : the walnut sideboard a projecting angle of which had momentarily arrested his ingress had been moved from its position beside the door to a more advantageous but more perilous position in front of the door : two chairs had been moved from right and left of the ingleside to the position originally occupied by the blue and white checker inlaid majolicatopped table 一把深紫红色长毛绒面沙发从门对面被搬到炉边那面卷得紧紧的英国国旗近旁这是他曾多次打算要做的变动。那张嵌有篮白棋盘格子花纹的马略尔卡203瓷面桌子，被安放在深紫红色长毛绒面沙发腾出后的空处。胡桃木餐具柜是它那凸出来的犄角一时挡住了他往里走着的脚步从门旁的位置被挪到更便当却更危险正对着门的位置去了。
