Excerpt from The Dutchman's Fireside
We know not whether it was in sympathy with these classi cal patterns, or from some other influence, but certain It is, there hath not, since the fashion of them changed, been seen so goodly a set of legs as was exhibited every Sabbath day in summer-time, in woolen hose, at the little stone church of the Flats, at the time of which we are treating.
The furniture of the mansion corresponded with its Doric dignity and simplicity. There was nothing too fine for use, or which was not used whenever occasion required; although there was one hallowed room, dignified with the name of the spare room, into which no one intruded except on very par ticular occasions. Here was the sacred deposit of ancestral heirlooms. Chairs with high and haughty backs and worked satin bottoms, from the old country; a Brussels carpet; two vast china jars, on either side of the chimney, nearly five feet high; and the treasure of all treasures, a Dutch cabinet, richly ornamented with brass hinges and a lock covering almost half its front, that when properly rubbed, as it was every day, it Was dazzling to behold.
