Sheets of paper were strewn on the scoured white wood of the kitchen table; the writer, her chin cupped in her hand, was staring dreamily out of the kitchen window.
Not all the scrubbing of the past hour could altogether rid them of the soot and dust that came of making fires and sweeping office floors. And his clothes, although brushed until they were spotless, were worn almost threadbare in places.

How dare you bring pollution into her house, and make that spotless creature wretched with the thoughts of your crime?" "Sir!" said Pen. "Don't deny it, sir," roared the Doctor.
