Based on the text, Trevor's description of his family suggests that he comes from a poor background. Here are a few pieces of evidence from the text:
1. Trevor's house is described as "an immense mansion" that was destroyed during the war. This suggests that his family used to have some wealth and status. However, it is mentioned that the family can only afford to keep one room in the house and the rest is abandoned. This indicates a significant decline in their financial situation.
2. Trevor mentions that his father used to be an architect but lost his job due to the war. This implies that his family has experienced a loss of income and stability.
3. Trevor describes his mother as "finding it difficult to adapt herself to the conditions of life." This suggests that Trevor's family is struggling to adjust to their current impoverished state.
These details all point to the fact that Trevor's family has fallen on hard times and is living in poverty.
