Too much in the Chapter. Treatment of servants was deplorable.

Very informative. I have often thought that many houses in the Western World are similar. For example, we all have a can opener in a drawer in the kitchen - and not the one with the knives and forks.
Also each room has a purpose. The kitchen for our stomachs, the bed room for our sleep, etc. This books tells the history that led to each room
It is not a research paper but a great compendium that teaches you.

Favorite this read are tiny beetles that bend ant antenna like other ants asking for food. Once they get the ant regurgitated food, they hold to the ground and lock up so the ants can’t attack them.
