When they had travelled slowly forward for some short distance, Nell ventured to steal a look round the caravan1 and observe it more closely. One half of it — that moiety2 in which the comfortable proprietress was then seated — was carpeted, and so partitioned off at the further end as to accommodate a sleeping-place, constructed after the fashion of a berth4 on board ship, which was shaded, like the little windows, with fair white curtains, and looked comfortable enough, though by what kind of gymnastic exercise the lady of the caravan ever contrived5 to get into it, was an unfathomable mystery. The other half served for a kitchen, and was fitted up with a stove whose small chimney passed through the roof. It held also a closet or larder6, several chests, a great pitcher7 of water, and a few cooking-utensils and articles of crockery. These latter necessaries hung upon the walls, which, in that portion of the establishment devoted8 to the lady of the caravan, were ornamented9 with such gayer and lighter10 decorations as a triangle and a couple of well-thumbed tambourines11.
The lady of the caravan sat at one window in all the pride and poetry of the musical instruments, and little Nell and her grandfather sat at the other in all the humility12 of the kettle and saucepans, while the machine jogged on and shifted the darkening prospect
