The structure is simultaneously strong and portable. The stretched canvas is suppled and soft life calfs skin, but keeps the heat at bay and the chills of the night out. Circular in design, there are no corners, all inhabitants are equal. With a small flap for a door the entrance looks fit for a child, while the whole tent looks as though it could fit a family of ten.

I am the muse of a poet.  I am open to flattery.  I take advantage of the intrigues of men.
Please grandmother. There isn't much out there for a girl like me. Plus, I enjoy being the muse of a poet. But what will you do when your beauty fades and you look like me? I do not know. I have many years before that is to happen. Maybe by then I will have found someone to live with. Perhaps I could give you something and you can find a new path. You can give it to me, but I am quite content with where I am at. There is quite a bit of gold in there, my dear. Thank you, I will keep it hidden away. Now you can buy your own house and get out of this life! I do not think that is enough to buy a place to live. And as I said, I am happy where I am. Alright, as long as you are content that is my wish for you. Yes, thank you Grandmother When must you go next?
