The room was really quite grand in a poor orphan's eyes. On the only stone wall in the room, on either side of the door throned two small stone fireplaces, complete with panels to protect their flame from the wind and a small stash of firewood on the upper right corner of the room. They would warm up this area if Ruthie could find something to light them with.
At the foot of the cot lay a closed oak chest, just waiting to be open and on the left part of the room resided a small bookcase and a desk, with small drawers just under it's surface.
A small table with a table cloth and some upturned silver cutlery laid on the right side, near a small and discrete door.
Over the main door was displayed the portrait of a solemn and aristocratic looking man wearing a military uniform stating him as a General. He must have been the previous tenant of this room.
Ruthie had quite a lot to explore.
