It emphasizes airing rooms and drying damask tablecloths for a pure appearance and notes linen damask is imported, with old fashioned patterns valued for elegance.

A fragment recounts a child going to bed and finding light in two candles. One sits on the bureau and one burns in a looking-glass, banishing darkness as shadows crowd the darkened hall. The tone is reflective and intimate.
