After a little hallway with a closed door to the left, Zech would find himself in the main room, which had the piano by the window, where Alice had played, a sitting area and a dining area. It looked rather dark due to small windows, and bare, with few decorations, other than some photographs on the piano top and mantle, a fiddle on the wall, and an open cupboard near the dining table displaying the best plates. There was a flight of stairs on the other side of the room and another door to the left. There was nobody in the room, but there was a small coal fire burning.
