Leaving this double set busy at tennis they fled to the opposite end of the garden.
The lemon pergola was a sheltered walk that led down a flight of marble steps to a small fountain.

There was a shady nook here with bushes of bamboo, and a tree with a sweet flower like honeysuckle, and little red roses, and a border of Parma violets, and a seat made of bright green tiles--altogether a very retired and pleasant and suitable spot in which to hold a committee meeting.

Exactly behind the seat stood an enormous jar of terra-cotta, colored red, and decorated with Greek figures in black silhouette, rather blurred and rubbed off, but still distinguishable.

No doubt its original use had been to store water, wine, or olive-oil, but nowadays it was merely an ornament to the garden.

A plant pot full of scarlet geraniums rested on its head, and an arbutula twined up the sides.
Peachy climbed up the bank behind, and with the help of Jess removed the pot of scarlet geraniums; then very cautiously and carefully she let herself down inside the jar.
