When the firewood was burnt pretty much into embers, or live coals, I
drew them forward upon this hearth, so as to cover it all over, and
there I let them lie, till the hearth was very hot; then sweeping away
all the embers, I set down my loaf, or loaves, and whelming down the
earthen pot upon them, drew the embers all round the outside of the pot,
to keep in and add to the heat; and thus, as well as in the best oven in
the world, I baked my barley loaves, and became in little time a mere
pastry-cook into the bargain; for I made myself several cakes of the
rice and puddings; indeed I made no pies, neither had I anything to put
into them, supposing I had, except the flesh either of fowls or goats.
