A small table stood before the fire, with a cloth of spotless whiteness spread upon it, as if in preparation for a meal.

A few stools completed the furniture.
Passing through this place, we were shewn into the parlour, a small room with a sanded floor.

Against the sides were placed some old, dark, and highly polished chairs, of antique form and rude workmanship.

The walls were decorated with several coloured prints, illustrative of the Pilgrim's Progress and hung in small red frames of about six inches square.

The fire-place was filled with moss, and its mantel-shelf had its china sheep and sheperdesses, and a small looking-glass, the whole being surmounted by a gun hung transversely.
