I think there's also an element of historically (maybe?) low inflation from early 90s to early 20s, where we kind of got used to prices not changing much.

But he says "in this strange house" - so he was staying as a guest? This is someone else's chimney. Don't know if this makes it better (excuse for not finding the privvy) or worse (well obviously).

Absolutely this - the intro has to do a lot of hard work, and is so important - needs to be done when you've got some idea of what the rest of the piece will be. Also - if you're using subheadings, write these first - then fill in the text. If not, then write them anyway and delete them later.
