  a 
  doorway, 
  instead 
  of 
  a 
  window, 
  which 
  admits 
  to 
  a 
  side 
  

   porch 
  contained 
  within 
  the 
  outer 
  lines 
  of 
  the 
  house. 
  Both 
  

   entrance 
  porch 
  and 
  terraces 
  are 
  inclosed 
  within 
  paneled 
  rail- 
  

   ings, 
  which 
  are 
  repeated 
  above 
  the 
  porch, 
  where 
  they 
  inclose 
  

   a 
  terrace 
  at 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  floor. 
  The 
  brick 
  base 
  of 
  

   the 
  building 
  is 
  hidden 
  behind 
  a 
  low-growing 
  hedge, 
  while 
  

  

  further 
  relief 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  bay 
  trees 
  and 
  pots 
  

   and 
  jars 
  of 
  foliage 
  and

  plants 
  and 
  gaily 
  planted 
  

   boxes 
  standing 
  on 
  the 
  terrace 
  steps 
  and 
  above 
  the 
  porch. 
  One 
  

   can 
  not 
  look 
  for 
  trees 
  so 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  shore, 
  and 
  relief 
  from 
  

   the 
  sun 
  is 
  obtained 
  by 
  awnings 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  porch.
