Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simplicity and Fascination We knock at the door, and are admitted by a rosy coun try girl into a passage, where is a stand of geraniums, and thence conducted into a large hall, where we will sit. Down in a corner, invisible as ghosts by daylight, and look about us. This hall is a substantial apartment, panelled with black oak. Heavy oaken rafters form the ceiling, and polished oaken planks the floor: over the middle of the latter is a piece of Indian matting. An oaken chimney corner usurps a third of one side of the room, on the hearth of which are placed two bright steel dogs, or andirons. Across these lie big logs of wood, that burn with all their hearts. And as if they took a pleasure in enlivening by their cheerful flames the party assembled near them.
