Behind it are two stained glass windows; one being in memory of the father of the incumbent's wife; the other in remembrance of the architect's mother. Adjoining is a plain window which will shortly be filled in with stained glass, at the expense of Mr. W. B. Roper, in memory of a relative.
No light is thrown forth from its eleven thousand windows, save in this retreating angle formed by the junction of the palace with the convent, or to speak according to the architect's symbolical design of the "handle" with the "gridiron."
She longed to know the story more fully, but it was difficult for Didymus to talk a long time in a loud tone, so she silenced her desire to learn the whole truth. But, in order to await the architect's report, they did not go to rest. Didymus had sunk into an armchair, and Doris sat near at her spindle, but without drawing any threads from her distaff.
"The architect's a bite, and the plan's a bubble. I am sick of the sight of this rubbish, and I will soon replace our old alcoves, alleys, and flower-pots by an Italian garden and a new palace." "That, my lord, would be to waste, not to improve your fortune," said his domestic.

He was not surprised to learn that the Romans ruled Alexandria; but a small band of the conquerors, who had been ordered to conduct themselves as if they were in a friendly country, had forced their way into the architect's large house to occupy the quarters assigned to them.
"Certainly and you will give nothing to yonder brawler." "On the contrary. I feel very generous. If Peitho will aid me, the insatiate fellow will get more than may be agreeable to him." Then grasping the architect's hand, Dion forced his way through the throng surrounding the high platform on wheels, upon which the closely covered piece of sculpture had been rolled up.
His back turned to her; if she could have seen the threatening scowl with which he stood gazing on the ground she would surely have remembered the architect's warning and have postponed her address till a future day.
Pontius met the Emperor's servant and his water-carriers and remarked, loudly enough for Mastor to understand him, to Pollux who was with him: "The architect's servant is getting Christians to wait upon his master to-day. They are regular and sober workmen who do their duty silently and well."
