The Lady of the Shroud

BOOK II: VISSARION
27/69

The wall that surrounds the inner portion of it has long ago been levelled, but sufficient remains at either end where it joined the outer defences to show the long casemates for the bowmen to shoot through and the raised stone gallery where they stood.

It is just the same kind of building as the stone-work of the sentry's walk on the roof and of the great old guard-room under it.
But whatever the garden may have been, and no matter how it was guarded, it is a most lovely place.

There are whole sections of garden here of various styles--Greek, Italian, French, German, Dutch, British, Spanish, African, Moorish--all the older nationalities.

I am going to have a new one laid out for you--a Japanese garden.

I have sent to the great gardener of Japan, Minaro, to make the plans for it, and to come over with workmen to carry it out.
