24/30 We supped at two tables; the gentlemen and the reverend fathers sitting at one, while the French lady and myself occupied the other. They led us into a park by the roadside belonging to the mother of the Sultan. Here the pacha usually resides during the summer. In half an hour's time we reached this park. The garden is rather handsome, but does not display many plants except lemon, orange, pomegranate, and cypress trees. |
