The Swiss Family Robinson; or Adventures in a Desert Island

CHAPTER XXX
2/5

The right-hand portion was subdivided into three rooms: the first our own bedroom; the middle, the common sitting-room, and beyond the boys' room.

As we had only three windows, we appropriated one to each bedroom, and the third to the kitchen, contenting ourselves, at present, with a grating in the dining-room.

I constructed a sort of chimney in the kitchen, formed of four boards, and conducted the smoke thus, through a hole made in the face of the rock.

We made bur work-room spacious enough for us to carry on all our manufactures, and it served also for our cart-house.

Finally, all the partition-walls were put up, communicating by doors, and completing our commodious habitation.
