Grammar
with or without an article
Please, explain to me why there is no article before 'garret' in the sentence below; and if it was, what would it be: 'the' or 'a'.
The landlady who provided him with garret, dinners, and attendance, lived on the floor below, and every time he went out he was obliged to pass her kitchen, the door of which invariably stood open.
