The carving of the back gradually assumed the lineaments and expression of an old shrivelled human face the damask cushion became an antique, flapped waistcoat the round knobs grew into a couple of feet, encased in red cloth slippers and the old chair looked like a very ugly old man, of the previous century, with his arms a-kimbo. Tom sat up in bed, and rubbed his eyes to dispel the illusion. No. The chair was an ugly old gentleman and what was more, he was winking at Tom Smart.
