passage from Robbe-Grillet;

From the chest of drawers to the table is six steps: three to the fireplace and three more after that. It is five steps from the table to the corner of the bed; four steps from the bed to the chest of drawers. The path from the chest of drawers to the table is not quite straight; it curves gently to pass the nearer the fireplace. Above the mantelpiece there is a mirror, a large, rectangular mirror, hang in on the wall. The foot of the bed is exactly opposite.
