Square hall

(1980 memoirs)
Just a minute!  I have forgotten a very important little vestibule-like hall between the living room and dining room.  This four feet by four feet space had four doors; if you are coming from the living room, there is the living room door behind you, the dining room door ahead of you, and on the right the door to the renter's apartment and on the left -- ah, that is the door to the stairs.  And up the stairs is my room.
