There was gaslight in the nurseries and passages and bedrooms; hissing,unshaded gas-burners as a rule; where the brown middle of theflower-like flame always fascinated me. There was a Colza oil lamp inthe drawing-room, and tall candles in the dining-room. But as soon as itwas possible we had the new electric light put in, though it wasconsidered very expensive and much too extravagant for the kitchens andthe attics; and such passage lights as there were must never be left on.We had the telephone, too, so early that we were Number 10 on the list.In the kitchen, near the vast iron range happily roaring the coal away,stood the clockwork roasting-jack, behind its shiny screen; though thescreen was now chiefly used to shelter the troughs of dough, when thebread was put down before the fire to rise; for our bread was all madeat home of stone-milled flour from Grantchester Mill.
