Word Entry #7 - "Living in Sin"

1. "Half heresy, to wish the taps less vocal,
     the panes relieved of grime" (858).

2. My guess: By the context clues of the sentence I think that heresy may mean to believe.

3. Definition:  "any opinion or belief that is or is thought to be contrary to official or established theory" (freedictionary.com).

4. I understand now, she's describing the furniture in the room and when she says heresy she is referring to the opinion she has of the house she lives in.
