This house, most likely owned by a shopkeeper or skilled laborer, is
large enough to hold a family with ease and furnished in 'comfort if not
luxury.  A basket of mending is on the floor by the hearth near a
comfortable chair and a couple children's toys are scattered on the rug in
the main room.  

A homemaker does housework while her husband works in town.
