Es una descripción que me aparece suelta y no vuelve a referirse a ella en ningún otro momento del texto, así que tiene poco contexto. En todo caso es la Inglaterra rural del SXIX. La frase es:
The memories of his father's room were vivid, but not happy. Boot black and baize and his father's narrowed eyes and thinned lips.
Muchas gracias desde ya,
Maria
