After a ramble through the bewitchingly lovely gardens, going across ancient drawbridges, spanning long-unused, grass-grown moats; under little postern-gates; into rustic grottoes they at last came to the conservatory, in which is preserved the "Warwick Vase." This is made of white marble, carved with various devices. "It has a curious history," answered Mrs.
The crumbled walls encircle us once more, the postern-gates are closed, the drawbridge is up, and pent in its narrow den beneath, the water foams and struggles with the sunken starlings. Jerkins and quarter-staves are in the streets again, the nightly watch is set, the rebel, sad and lonely in his Tower dungeon, tries to sleep and weeps for home and children.
The principal postern-gates were Cale Yard Gate, made by the abbot and convent in the reign of Edward I as a passage to their kitchen garden; New-gate, formerly Woolfield or Wolf-gate, repaired in 1608, also called Pepper-gate; and Ship-gate, or Hole-in-the-wall, which alone retains its Roman arch, and leads to a ferry across the Dee.
