A tiny lawn, rather long-grassed and not innocent of daisies, took up the centre of the garden, and on to this two open casements looked; above again, two open windows, half-lost in the white clouds of cherry bloom. "But how do you know they've any rooms?" I expostulated. Viola looked at me with jesting scorn in her eyes. "I don't know yet, but I'm going to find out."
The ensemble is picturesque, nevertheless: the three rows of windows, surmounted by the huge cupola and half-lost among the buttresses, certainly contribute toward the general elegance of the granite structure. In the times of the Romans, the country to the west of Salamanca seems to have been thickly populated.
To right and left the last spurs of the Alps descend, jutting like promontories, heaving like islands from the misty breadth below: and here and there are towers, half-lost in airy azure; and cities dwarfed to blots; and silvery lines where rivers flow; and distant, vapour-drowned, dim crests of Apennines.
All at once the mists seemed to lift from the long range of hills on the right and revealed the dark background of forest, broken here and there with jutting rocks and beetling crags. We stopped and sat down on the bank-side to view the scene. Close up under the shadow of the dark forest nestled a little white village. Near it was the red-tile roof of an old mansion, half-lost in the foliage.
All the way up the hill, this man who loved night and her manifestations as most men love the morning had no thought to spare for the splendour of the heavens or the shrouded majesty of earth, so absorbed was he in framing and rejecting possible letters to his wife, who, for all he knew, had already half-lost her heart to another man.
