" Mere chance? Then it's by chance this room is furnished as we see it. It's an accident that
the sofa on the right is a livid green, and that one on the left's wine-red. Mere chance? Well, just
try to shift the sofas and you'll see the difference quick enough. And that statue on the mantelpiece,
do you think it's there by accident? And what about the heat here? How about that? [A
short silence.] I tell you they've thought it all out. Down to the last detail. Nothing was left to
chance. This room was all set for us. "
