Each story is divided by rows of columns, so that architecturally it has a resemblance to the other buildings near at hand. There are many theories as to the leaning position of this tower, but no two persons seem to quite agree upon the matter.

There was a halo about it, engirdling rich, flowing waves of reddish hair, the lights in which glowed like flame.
