“The shabby chest of drawers was spread with a lace cover, and set out with a few gold-topped boxes and bottles, a rose coloured pin cushion, a glass tray strewn with tortoise-shell hair-pins—he shrank from the poignant intimacy of these trifles, and from the blank surface of the toilet-mirror above them.”
