At night, when I feel tired and sleepy, I go up to my bedroom and switch on the electric light. I take off my shoes, undress and put on my pyjamas, Then I get into bed and switch off the light. After a few minutes I fall asleep. I sleep the whole night through.

Punctually at seven-thirty in the morning, the alarm clock rings and wakes me up. I get out of bed, put on my dressing-gown and slippers, and go into the bathroom, where I turn on the hot and cold taps. While the water’s running into the bath, I wash my face and neck, clean my teeth, and shave. My shaving things are on the shelf above the basin. Then I turn off the taps and have my bath. Sometimes I have a shower. When I’ve dried myself with a towel, I get dressed.

On the dressing-table, in front of the looking-glass, you’ll see a hair-brush and comb, a hand mirror, a bottle of scent and a powder-box. These, of course, don’t belong to me, but to my wife. In the chest of drawers I keep clean linen, such as shirts, collars and handkerchiefs, besides things like socks and ties. The dirty linen is put in linen basket and sent to the laundry. In the wardrobe I keep my suits and other clothes, which I hang on coat-hangers.
