In the centre of the picture there is a table. Bobby is sitting at the table. He is writing a letter to his friend in Oxford. On his right there is an armchair. The grandfather is sitting in it. He is an elderly man of about seventy. He is reading a newspaper. In the left-hand corner of the room there is another armchair. The grandmother is sitting in it. She is over sixty, grey-haired, tall and thin. Her daughter Mary and she look very much alike. Granny is knitting. Kitty is sitting near her on the carpet and playing with a dog.

By the left wall there is a piano. Mary is playing the piano now and Charles is listening to her. He is enjoying himself. It is a quiet evening at the Clarks'.
