Text reads:
'Getting up in a cold gloomy morning, and on running down in to the breakfast room for warmth and comfort finding chairs, table, shovel, tongue, poker and fender huddled in to the middle of the room, carpet tossed back - floor newly washed - windows wide open - bees wax brush and rubber in one corner - brooms mops and pails in another - and a dingy Drab on her knees before an empty grate.'
