front door or dull, un-
cleaned door knobs.
, Grimy window panes.
An uncleaned grate or
An unmade bed.
DCad flowers in the
vases. >
Cigarette trays nan-
full of ash.
Cobwebs.
An undusted piano.
Cushions. left
crumpled and askew.
Grubby arms or backs
to chairs.
Crooked pictures and
dusty lampshades.
Dull, splashed mirrors.

light globes.
Untidy bookshelves
and torn magazines.
A grimy kitchen sink.
Grease splattered
_ around the stove.
A' broken-down rub
bish bin at your side
gate.
. Half - washed milk
bottles left out for the
milkman.
