Then they both breathed freer, and returned to sit down before the stove. But at the same moment they both saw, ineffaceably outlined on the lacquered top, the basal form of the clock.

Up on Mount Hough you'll have to live in a little glass house about the size of this room, and do your cooking on an oil stove.
