Their friendship was mutual, fitting and beautiful, which last is more than can be said for the absurd stories about their intercourse which are extant in print and have been made the subject of imaginary pictures by more than one painter.
But with seven easy-chairs, and the biggest Chesterfield sofa extant, and a large writing-table " "I can have that in my room." "Along with a six-foot dressing-table, and a nine-foot wardrobe, and I don't know how many chests of drawers " "The wardrobe will stand in a passage somewhere. We must have places to put our clothes." "A house with passages of that capacity " "Well, never you mind.
Bunyan's grandfather, Thomas Bunyan, as we learn from his still extant will, carried on the occupation of a "petty chapman," or small retail dealer, in his own freehold cottage, which he bequeathed, "with its appurtenances," to his second wife, Ann, to descend, after her death, to her stepson, his namesake, Thomas, and her own son Edward, in equal shares.
He doth use much to arbitrate quarrels, and fights himself, exceeding well, out at a window.

The idea of placing a large window on one side of the door, and a small one on the other, is particularly happy.
