In the houses little furniture is seen; the principal articles
12 (those of the kitchen excepted) are beds, mats on the floor, and
the carpets; which cover the whole room. The rooms are about
fourteen feet by ten; the kitchen and wash-house are generally to
the right and to the left of the passage; the necessary is next the
wash-house.[25]
