His place was one large room with creaky oak
flooring that had shelves on three sides which
held worn law books, will and deed boxes, and a
fine set of the Statutes of Virginia. A big
walnut desk sat in the middle of the room, along
with a telephone and drifts of papers. There was
an old crate for a wastebasket, and a listing hat
and umbrella stand in one corner. There were no
hats on the hooks, and where umbrellas should
have been was an old fishing pole.
