The most
interesting of them, and one who is still a friend, came from what even
he described as a very "old" area of Poland, and the stoves there
actually formed, or took place of, the wall between kitchen and
bedroom: on the bedroom side were sleeping benches which were the far
side of the kitchen stove, which had both a bake oven and a firebox
under the cooktop, plus an area which held a removable clay pot of some
sort that held water for heating. The stove at Eugene's parents' house
had 4 fireboxes, one accessible from outdoors, and 2 chimneys, one
'short' and one convoluted, which was the one that ran alongside the
sleeping benches.

Sounds very nice indeed.

My birth name is Eugene. This is the first time I've seen it as a Polish name.
