Aunt Phillis’s Cabin

CHAPTER IV
2/17

The lounge by the three windows was covered with small figured French chintz, and it was a delightful seat, or bed, as the occasion required.

She had the legs of several of the chairs sawed off, and made cushions for them, covered with pieces of the chintz left from the lounge.

The armchairs that looked at each other from either side of the fireplace place, not being of velvet, were made to sit in.
In one corner of the room, (there were five,) a fine-toned guitar rested against the wall; in another, was a large fly-brush of peacock's feathers, with a most unconscionable number of eyes.

In the third, was Captain Moore's sword and sash.

In the fourth, was Mrs.Moore's work-basket, where any amount of thimbles, needles, and all sorts of sewing implements could be found.
