"The paint and paper look as if a boy's school had used it. It is stripped off--the paper-- in great patches all around the head of my bed, about as far as I can reach, and in a great place on the other side of the room low down. I never saw worse paper in my life. One of those sprawling, flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin . . .The color is repellent, almost revolting: a smouldering unclean yellow, faded by the slow-turning sunlight."
