Office The office is where Renarde spends most of his time whenever he is at home. Usually when he occupies it, papers are scattered, the curtains are shut to keep out the light and the door is usually locked. Servants who are too oblivious or ignorant and disturb him face his violent temper. Business men can meet him here. The office has recently become his bedroom.

Library A studious man, he keeps a large library but only with books he approves of. Comfortable yet simple furniture occupy the room along with a fireplace and mantel. Strangely, there are no personal pictures adorning this room. Guests in general can meet him here but only if Renarde is in a welcoming mood.

Kitchen Currently, there are only a few servants working the kitchen but it is not strenuous work. He usually orders the same meal anyway or he doesn't eat at all so the kitchen usually becomes a place for gossip.

Dining Room Simple and clean and usually it is not occupied. There are only three chairs at the table but two are always empty. Sometimes all.

Floretta's Bedroom Floretta's room displays all the love and selflessness of her father. Though handsomely designed with the most expensive furniture in the house, his daughter realizes how much her father does for her and thus, it has a modest atmosphere. Expressing the love between the father and daughter it gives her bedroom a warm, bright feeling.

Flora's Private Parlor Nothing has changed about this room. Only a special servant is allowed to come and clean it - Renarde. This is one of the master's favorite rooms because it confines the fragrance of the woman, Flora. All her interests from playing the harp and painting sunrises as well as a few choice novels are here. The parlor is beautifully designed and yet retains a gentle acceptance. Just like the creative woman Flora, there is nothing vain or gaudy to make others uneasy. A window shows a majestic view of a garden. The flowers Flora has grown are displayed here and are always replaced. Unlike their bedroom, Renarde feels serene and tranquil here because he can consider his wife as a woman he once looked upon from a distance.

Master Bedroom This is the one part of the house that Renarde does not visit - for nineteen years. The doors are always locked and not even the servants are allowed to go in and clean thus it is a very dusty room. All the personal and painful vestiges of that martial blissful year with his wife are displayed or better put, prisoned here. The clothes from the wedding are packed. Pictures of their young love hang on the wall. Gentle memoirs held in candlelight, traveling momentums under the honeymoon and even their bed - all of Renarde's memories of that one intoxicating sweet year reside in this room. If one does enter, a heavy sorrow awaits like an encumbering cloud that has yet to bring the healing pain of rain. No one can enter. No one can see. No one can touch the dormant and fragile past. Those who are found in this room will not be forgiven.

Garden It is a beautiful garden his Flora kept. Despite the intoxicating potpourri of roses and azaleas that celebrates with waves of fragrances beckoned by the rain and the picturesque landscape it is again a sorrowful place. Forget-me-nots are found at every turn like a vestige from an apparition or an angel following whoever enters.
