The idea
With no scenery, a character must say where they are. Lines that seem to describe the obvious are doing the work a set would do now. Unit eleven called setting an argument; on this stage it is first of all information.
In practice
The dialogue paints the scene.
Where people slip
Description is doing a set's job.
