The Hobbit: Tolkien

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door

opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors

tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of

visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill—The Hill, as all the people

for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No

going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms

devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms

were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking

over his garden, and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river.
