The ceiling fan rotated tardily and noiselessly, producing hardly enough air to cool the sitting room, but thank heaven for the air conditioner, which did the job. A white electric bulb hung not too far from the fan, illuminating the entire room. On the white wall hung a forty-two-inch plasma television, and a collection of white leather sofas arranged in a C-shape stood opposite it. A blue transparent glass table with a red strawberry design stood between them.
On the table was a just-opened bottle of white wine and glasses for two, one filled and the other empty. The walls were covered in white paint with just a large gold-framed picture of David in lion's skin cloth with a red cap that had an eagle's feather pinned at its right side. He had a proud smile across his face.
