The chair by the window is furniture

I sit there in the morning because the light is on the page and the canal is doing its job. I do not store a cushion. I do not leave a book face down to keep the place.

If you need the chair for a guest, take it. I am not a plaque.

I sat for ten minutes while I waited for Roos and felt like I had stolen a pew. I put it back at the angle I found, which was slightly wrong, on purpose, so it would look used and not staged.

Nora, that is the correct amount of guilt for a chair. We are not a church. Sit down.

No names on furniture. Chests, yes. Chairs, no. I am glad I did not have to invent this rule.
