A hammock, to swing in by day or sleep in by night; a couple of cane chairs; and a mat, of beautifully woven straw, for the floor.

First the negro beckoned the boys into an inner room, and there, to their intense delight, they saw a large tub full of water, and two piles of clothes lying beside it.
Don Sagasta and his daughter, after a few more words, left them; assuring them that they would be safe from observation there, but that they must not stir out, during the day; and must keep the door securely fastened, and must give no answer to anyone who might come and knock, or call, unless to themselves, to the black who was now with them, or his wife, who would accompany him, perhaps, the next evening.

Donna Anna herself promised that she would come and see them the next morning, and that she hoped to find that they were comfortable.
When left alone, the boys luxuriated in the bath; and then, having put on fresh suits, they felt clean and comfortable once again.

The boys ate a hearty supper; and then, throwing themselves into the swinging hammocks, were soon fast asleep.
