You have entered an elegant parlor, decorated in tasteful Alpheus IV
style.  Two tables with ball and claw legs are on either side of a beautiful
cloth sofa, with accents of mahogany.  A delicately woven rug lies in the
center of the room.  The kitchen is to the north, and an elegant hallway is
to the south.  To the east you can see a courtyard.
