In one corner of the room there stood a bed in which Mrs.Piedmont and Amanda Ann slept.

Under this was a trundle bed in which Eliza Jane and Celestine slept at the head, while Belton slept at the foot.

James Henry climbed into the loft and slept there on a pallet of straw.

The cooking was done in a fireplace which was on the side of the house opposite the window.

Three chairs, two of which had no backs to them, completed the articles in the room.
In one of these chairs Mrs.Piedmont was sitting, while Belton stood before her all dressed and ready to go to school, excepting that his face was not washed.
It might be interesting to note his costume.
