Jadis' room is the same room she's always had - but somehow, it seems bigger. The bleached oak bookcase against the wall fills the whole space available to it, wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling, and it is absolutely crammed, with books, papers, oddments of this and that.

She also has a wrapped bottle of something in her free hand.

"Do you need service today, madam?"

Alas for Goldilocks, but Jadis isn't even slightly fooled. She leans on the door jamb. "Unless you happen to have brought a pot of tea with you?"
