He left the kitchen and entered a central hall by the front door. One doorway 
led to me dining room, which also had a door directly to the kitchen, and 
another led to an office. Wide stairs ascended to the second floor. Everything 
from the wooden chairs in the dining room to the chandelier in the hall gave 
Peter a hollow feeling; none of the furnishing radiated a sense of invitation. 
They were merely carved wood and elaborate shards of glass, and no more.
