The windows here were low, and afforded a view over the garden.

Next to it were several apartments, all fitted with divans, but with low windows and a bright outlook.

They could be darkened, during the heat of the day, by shutters.

With the exception of these windows, the others throughout the house contained no glass, the light entering through innumerable holes that formed a filigree work in the thin slabs of stone that filled the orifices.
The grounds round the palace were thickly planted with trees, which constituted a grove rather than a garden, according to Dick's English notions.

This was, indeed, the great object of the planter, and numerous fountains added to the effect of the overhanging foliage.
Dick wandered about, delighted.
