There is a mosquito bar with only a few holes in it, but it is suspended and cannot under any circumstances be used as a blanket.

There is a pillow, hard and round, and easy as a log for your cheek to rest upon, and it is beautifully covered with red silk.

There is a small roll, say a foot long and four inches in diameter, softer than the pillow, to a slight extent, and covered with finer and redder silk, that is meant for the neck alone.

The comparatively big red log is to extend across the bed for the elevation it gives the head, and the little and redder log, softer so that you may indent it with your thumb, saves the neck from being broken on this relic of the Spanish inquisition.

But there is a comforter--not such a blessed caressing domestic comforter as the Yankees have, light as a feather, but responsive to a tender touch.
