As can be seen, agriculture is still the most common occupation.
Great houses now had a central dining chamber [saloon] for dining,
with sets of lodgings [suites], usually for couples, around it.
Each lodging had an ante-chamber and/or drawing room, and then a
bedchamber, off of which there was a servant's room and a closet
[cabinet]. No longer did personal servants bed down in the drawing
room or outside their master's door or in a trunkle bed at his
feet. The servant's room was connected to a back staircase for use
by servants. Secret guests also used it. The closet room was the
innermost sanctum for privacy and gave its name to the later
cabinet of the government.
