Miss Honey opened the door and they went inside. The ceilings were very low, and the kitchen was not much bigger than a cupboard. In the living-room there were three boxes on the floor. Two to sit on, and one for a table. There was no real furniture.
`Sit down,' Miss Honey told Matilda. `We'll have a nice cup of tea.' And she went into the kitchen to make it.

Matilda did not understand. Did her school teacher really live here? It was very strange.
