Mary Erskine had made white curtains for this window, which could be parted in the middle, and hung up upon nails driven into the logs which formed the wall of the house, one on each side.

Of what use these curtains could be except to make the room look more snug and pleasant within, it would be difficult to say; for there was only one vast expanse of forests and mountains on that side of the house, so that there was nobody to look in.
On the back side of the room, in one corner, was the bed.

It was supported upon a bedstead which Albert had made.

The bedstead had high posts, and was covered, like the window, with curtains.

In the other corner was the place for the loom, with the spinning-wheel between the loom and the bed.
