The effect of these coverings, or rugs, was to bewitch the eye, even as their design delighted the intellect. Along with the rugs, which formed a handsome floor, there were cushions for leaning or sitting upon—all of which made for as comfortable and satisfactory a shelter as I have encountered anywhere.
