The sunshine came through a large bay-window glazed in diamonds and with long branches of a vine trailing across it but in parts the glass had been broken and had never been mended. The walls were wainscoted with dark oak as well as the floor which shone bright with rubbing and stag's antlers projected from them on which hung a sword in its sheath one or two odd gauntlets an old-fashioned helmet a gun some bows and arrows and two of the broad shady hats then in use one with a drooping black feather the other plainer and a good deal the worse for wear both of a small size as if belonging to a young boy.
