81/205 The Country being warm, many of them will not take pains to clay their walls, but make them of boughs and leaves of Trees. The poorest sort have not above one room in their houses, few above two, unless they be great men. Neither doth the King allow them to build better. They have no Chimneys in them, but make their fires in one corner, so that the roof is all blacked with the smoak. They have commonly two buildings one opposit to the other, joined together on each side with a wall, which makes a square Court-yard in the middle. |
