One of the lessons of the tropics is the value of the outer air, and architecture that gives it a chance in the house.

It is a precious education.

The artificial light within must be produced by candles, and each stupendous apartment is furnished with one tallowy and otherwise neglected candle stick, and you can get, with exertion, a candle four inches long.

There is a wardrobe, a wash stand, with pitcher and basin, and a commode, fans, chairs, and round white marble table, all the pieces placed in solitude, so as to convey the notion of lonesomeness.

The great feature is the bed.
