The interior of the cottage is a little cramped but cozy. On the table, steam rises from a hot cup of tea. Whoever lives here must have just stepped out, but surely she won't mind you taking a look around?

take a look at that tea (about me)
peruse the bookshelves (writing)
step into the bedroom
go back out the front door
slip out the back
