The Slowcoach

CHAPTER 3
4/10

"For the boys and Kink to sleep in," said Janet; "but we must be very careful about waterproof sheeting on the ground first." The rest of the caravan, between the door and the bedroom--about ten feet--was the kitchen and living room.

Here every inch of the wall was used, either by chairs that folded back like those in the corridors of railway carriages, or by shelves, racks, cupboards, or pegs.

There were two tables, which also folded to the wall.
The stove was close to the door, but of course, no one who lives in a caravan ever uses the stove except when it is raining.

You make the fire out of doors at all other times, and swing the pot from three sticks.

(Hedgehog stew! Can't you smell it ?) There were kitchen utensils on hooks and racks on each side of the stove which was covered in with shining brass, and rows of enameled cups and saucers, and plates, and knives and forks.
