Turning her back on the cenotaph of their former greatness, Dorothy dived into a long pleached alley, careless of the drip from overhead, and hurrying through it came to a circular patch of thin grass, rounded by a lofty hedge of yew-trees, in the midst of which stood what had once been a sun-dial.
The reader will no doubt remember the room occupied by M. Hardy, in the "house of retreat," in the Rue de Vaugirard a gloomy and retired apartment, opening on a dreary little garden, planted with yew-trees, and surrounded by high walls.
