One stop brought us into the family

sitting-room, without any introductory

lobby or passage they call it here "the

house" pre-eminently. One end, indeed,

reflected splendidly both light and heat

from anks of immense pewter dishes,

interspersed with silver jugs and tankards,

towering row after row, on an immense

oak dresser, to the very roof. Above the

and a couple of horse-pistols, and, by way

of ornament, three gaudily-painted

canisters disposed along its ledge.

Based on this excerpt, the decor of Mr. Heathcliff's sitting-room could be best described as

A. A comfortable room in a gentleman farmer's house.

B. A spare room with a few accessories.

Shelby Sparks · Answer 1

A mishmash of objects, both large and small.

Explanation:

We can exclude Option A because the room is most certainly not comfortable.

Option B cannot be correct because it describes a common room with an abundance of trinkets.

Option C is incorrect because nothing indicates the objects are broken or poorly maintained.
