This was clearly intended to mean that Dorothy was not going to get any
food tonight, so she answered Yes, untruthfully, and the conversation was at
an end That was always Mrs Creevy’ s way- she never kept you talking an
instant longer than was necessary Her conversation was so very definite, so
exactly to the point, that it was not really conversation at all Rather, it was the
skeleton of conversation, like the dialogue m a badly written novel where
everyone talks a little too much in character But indeed, m the proper sense of
the word she did not talk, she merely said, in her brief shrewish way, whatever
it was necessary to say* and then got rid of you as promptly as possible She
now showed Dorothy along the passage to her bedroom, and lighted a gas-jot
A Clergyman’s Daughter gji
no bigger than an acorn, revealing a gaunt bedroom with a narrow white-
quilted bed, a rickety wardrobe, one chair and a wash-hand-stand with a frigid
white china basin and ewer It was very like the bedrooms in seaside lodging
houses, but it lacked the one thing that gives such rooms their air of homeliness
and decency-the text over the bed
‘This is your room/ Mrs Creevy said, ‘and I just hope you’ll keep it a bit
tidier than what Miss Strong used to And don’t go burning the gas half the
night, please, because I can tell what time you turn it off by the crack under the
door ’
With this parting salutation she left Dorothy to herself The room was
dismally cold, indeed, the whole house had a damp, chilly feeling, as though
fires were rarely lighted in it Dorothy got into bed as quickly as possible,
feeling bed to be the warmest place On top of the wardrobe, when she was
putting her clothes away, she found a cardboard box containing no less than
nine empty whisky bottles-relics, presumably, of Miss Strong’s weakness on
the moral side
At eight in the morning Dorothy went
downstairs
and found Mrs Creevy
already at breakfast in what she called the ‘morning-room’ This was a smallish
room adjoining the kitchen, and it had started life as the scullery; but Mrs
Creevy had converted it into the ‘morning-room’ by the simple process of
removing the sink and copper into the kitchen The breakfast table, covered
with a cloth of harsh texture, was very large and forbiddingly bare Up at Mrs
Creevy’ s end were a tray with a very small teapot and two cups, a plate on
which were two leathery fried eggs, and a dish of marmalade, in the middle,
just within Dorothy’s reach if she stretched, was a plate of bread and butter,
and beside her plate-as though it were the only thing she could be trusted
with-a cruet stand with some dried-up, clotted stuff inside the bottles
‘Good morning.
