      Les cambres feien ensems la servitud de rebost i de graner; hi havia una barreja pintoresca de llits i sacs, de caixes i andròmines de tota llei, de forcs de cebes i de penjarelles del porc salat.
      The rooms served as both pantry and granary; there was a picturesque mixture of beds and sacks, of boxes and pieces of junk of every description, of forks of onions and hanging pieces of salted pork.
