The stone slabs were sometimes inscribed, sometimes ornamented with an elegant pattern. The platform appears to have been, in general shape, a rectangle, or where it had different elevations, to have been composed of a rectangles.

We moved to the parlor; Sophronia took the lounge, while I found the floor a little harder than I supposed an ex-soldier could ever find any plane surface.
