It is just the kind of place I like myself; so, naturally, I understand the other chap who liked it too.

It is a fine big room, not quite within the Castle, but an outlying part of it.

It is not detached, or anything of that sort, but is a sort of garden-room built on to it.

There seems to have been always some sort of place where it is, for the passages and openings inside seem to accept or recognize it.

It can be shut off if necessary--it would be in case of attack--by a great slab of steel, just like the door of a safe, which slides from inside the wall, and can be operated from either inside or outside--if you know how.
