The Peacock 1177

 "Wow", says George, "Your dad has quite the book collection", and he is right, since all four walls in the den are completely lined from floor to ceiling with books.

"Hey, they're all arranged and organized according to the Dewey Decimal System", says Jeffrey.  "Here's Philosophy, psychology, religion, mysticism, sociology, and languages, sciences, horticulture, politics, international law, history, art, literature.  He must have been incredibly well read."

"And on this wall", say I. "you will find fiction, literature, and mystery thrillers.  You guys can stay up reading all night if you want."

"We'd might as well", mutters George with a certain look in his eye, and Jeffery can only burst out laughing.

"Here's the sofabed", say I, pulling out the fully made comfy wide mattress, almost sparkling with a crimson red comforter covering white sheets.  "There are some pillows in the closet."

"I like this", says Jeffrey, and George simply shrugs as he sets their suitcases on top of the bed...
