First sentence: A blazing fire, a warm rug, candles lit and curtains drawn, the kettle on for tea (nor do the "first circles" despise the preference of a kettle to an urn, as the third or fourth may do), and finally, the cat before you, attracting your attention - it is a scene which everybody likes unless he has a morbid aversion to cats; which is not common.
