How Michael Ende's Mirror In The Mirror Explores the Mystery of Self-Reflection (Ebook 12)

The ordinary middle-class household is naturally on a verydifferent scale. The selamlik is on the ground floor with a separateentrance, and there the master of the house receives his maleguests; the rest of the ground floor is occupied by the kitchenand perhaps the stables. The haremlik is generally (in towns atleast) on the upper floor fronting on and slightly overhangingthe street; it has a separate entrance, courtyard and garden.The windows are guarded by lattices pierced with circular holesthrough which the women may watch without being seen.Communication with the haremlik is effected by a locked door,of which the Effendi keeps the key and also by a sort of revolvingcupboard (dutap) for the conveyance of meals. The furniture,of the old-fashioned harems at least, is confined to divans, rugs,carpets and mirrors. For heating purposes the old brass trayof charcoal and wood ash is giving way to American stoves, andthere is a tendency to import French furniture and decorationwithout regard to their suitability.
