carpet

My eyes fall to the ground, studying the maroon shag carpet underneath the table.

Her feet anxiously traced little dance steps on the carpet, as if they could not help themselves.

The children intercepted her on the way down, but she could not get her balance and sank to the carpet in a daze.

The moonlight played on the leaf-and-ivy pattern of the carpet and the floral print of the wallpaper.

Now that Penelope had returned, Margaret would spend the rest of this lovely day cleaning fireplace grates, sweeping carpets, and tending to the whims of her high-strung mistress whenever Lady Constance rang the bell.
