混乱する〜(-.-;) (contributor: Miki)

堀田小屋 should be 掘立小屋, meaning a crude shack built by
inserting the pillers directly into the ground without using any foundation
stones. (contributor: bamboo4)

Ah! I was so careful not to mess up my first contibution and I did! Sorry!
Thanks, bamboo4, for the catch. (contributor: Ness)

#5520 Ness, I think the sentence is missing ところで or ところに :
北山の掘立小屋同様のところに, otherwise the sentence doesn't
make sense. Please check the book again. (contributor: Miki)

Re #5520: Correct version is:
其頃わたくし共は北山の堀立小屋同樣の所に寢起をいたして.
(contributor: bamboo4)
