and greenish grey. Immediately outside the garden is a little knoll, to 

 the top of which a narrow stairway leads, and there, beneath the shade 

 of tall cypresses, is placed a circle of stone seats which makes a belvedere. 

 Here you not only gain the advantage of the fresher breeze, but also of a 

 view over the campagna which is denied to the closely sheltered garden 

 below.
