It struck me that before I could reach the oval mirror in the upstairs hall, I had to pass through the front hall, cross the dusky living room with its sagging couch, walk the length of the kitchen, and climb two sets of creaking stairs, the long one up to the landing and the short one up to the hall.
And a swift break yielded a third try inside the opening 11 minutes, with Keith Senior's pass giving Hall the chance to cut back in off his wing and dart over.
