GAFFER 11ExAm's HOME.—The low building had
the look of having once been a mill. There was a rotten
wart of wood upon its forehead that seemed to indicate
where the sails had been, but the whole was very indis-
tinctly seen iu the obscurity of the night. The boy lifted
the latch of the door, and they passed at once into a low
circular room, where a man stood ix:fore a red fire, looking
down into it, and a girl sat engaged in needlework. The
fire was in a rusty brazier, not fitted to the hearth ; and a
common lamp, shaped like a hyacinth root, smoked and
flared in the neck of a stone bottle on the table. There
was a wooden bunk or berth in a corner, and in another
corner a wooden stair leading above—so clumsy and
steep that it was little better than a ladder. Two or three
old sculls and oars stood against the wall, and against an•
other part of the wall was a small dresser, making a spare
show of the commonest articles of crockery and cooking-
vessels. The roof of the room was not plastered, but was
formed of the flooring of the room above. This, being
very old, knotted, seamed, and beamed, gave a lowering
aspect to the chamber; and roof, and walls, and floor, alike
abounding in old smears of flour, red-lead (or some such
stain which it had probably acquired in warehousing), and
damp, alike had a look of decomposition,—Charles Dickens's
" Our Mutual Eriencl,"
