Ch.4 part 1 - 3

In this section they are just waking up from their first night inside of the "Hill House". Everything is fine and normal except it is gray and rainy out. Eleanor feels exceptionally well and was very comfortable. Dr. Montague wakes up first with Luke and Theodora was third. They go down and have a nice breakfast that Mrs. Dudley has set out and then decide to explore the house. It also talks about how perfect everyhing is that Mrs. Dudley does. She has breakfast out at nine and cleans up at ten; then she constantly remindes them everything has to go back on the shelves because she puts out lunch at one, and will clean up at two.They realize that all the doors swing shut after you let go of them unless you put something in front of them. As they explore the house Dr. Montague explains why they have so much trouble finding any of the rooms and often get lost. He says that the builder hated regular, ordinary houses so he set all of the rooms off balance. Also some rooms are on a tilt and the rooms do not face eachother at normal angles. That explains why you may think you are in one place of the house but really not. Also he says that it will also give you sea legs after a while because the house is on a tilt. At one point Eleanor almost falls of the veranda because she feels dizzy. Then after they go to have the lunch Mrs. Dudley made which was a souffle. Then it ends with Mrs. Dudley saying "Its five minutes of two".
