“While in Berkshire I saw an odd picture, not of a castle, but of an old English gentleman’s residence, which was truly castle-like in appearance, and which furnishes a happy suggestion to people who do not like to live long in any one place. It was a tun on wheels, and it had been used by an over-taxed and indignant democrat for the purpose of having no fixed locality, and so to avoid assessment.” Zigzag Journeys in Europe by Hezekiah Butterworth, 1880s.
It has been her room for at least 10 years - take a look at these hand prints, the earliest was done when she was 8 years old (and now she’s 18).
Choice of decor is interesting, I love these handpainted stars and seashells. Probably Lilith and Adam did it for her, the same goes for the bed and wooden toys (or at least I hope this lizard-type of thing wasn’t alive at some point).
There’s carved “carpe diem” and some numbers - “2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79”. These are prime numbers. Are these Agatha’s method to learn math…?
There are some books too (she likes to read in her bed), a collection of plants and some technical plans and drawings. I can see many circles, maybe these are the plans of her little clanks…?
