3. bedchamber . . . bed--mats strewed on the floor as
well as more sumptuous divans of the rich.
ovens--holes made in the ground and the sides of which are
plastered with mortar.
kneading-troughs--Those used in Egypt were bowls of wicker or
rush work. What must have been the state of the people when they could
find no means of escape from the cold, damp touch and unsightly
presence of the frogs, as they alighted on every article and vessel of
food!
