Furniture! . . . It is as if these traps were buckled to a m an's belt, and he could not move without dragging them -- dragging his trap. . . . Whenever you meet a man you will see all that he owns, ay, and much he pretends to disown , behind him -- even to his kitchen furniture and all the trumpery which he saves and will not burn -- and he will appear t o be harnessed to it.
