El jardín se hallaba ceñido por un muro de ladrillo, de tres pies de altura y somero remate de madera; sobre este cercado o empalizada descansaba su macicez un guardia, rodeado de un pequeño grupo de curiosos, quienes, castigando inútilmente la vista y el cuello, hacían lo imposible por alcanzar el interior del recinto.
The garden was bounded by a three-foot brick wall with a fringe of wood rails upon the top, and against this wall was leaning a stalwart police constable, surrounded by a small knot of loafers, who craned their necks and strained their eyes in the vain hope of catching some glimpse of the proceedings within.
