Garden. I barely escaped with my life not to mention all my body parts.
But on reflection, it was worth it. Ah! :-P

You were lucky methinks. Don't stretch your luck though. Next time I 
shall show you the abandoned Old Palace grounds... ;-)

When the Lady sails with you, nought can go wrong. But She is fickle, 
though.

Er! That is nice.
You will remember not to show the tunnel and path leading to the secret 


of coming and going were to be revealed. (As would some of the darker 
inhabitants of your fair town.)  ;-)

They had better be. Because I know where the bodies are buried.
Avast! Me hearty Author.

</aside>Avast in this context, is being used in its original sense.

<grin> which reminds me so much of old Moby Dick:

[quote]
Starting at the unforseen concluding exclamation of the so suddenly
scornful old man, Stubb was speechless a moment; then said excitedly,
"I am not used to be spoken to that way, sir; I do but less than half
like it, sir."

"Avast! gritted Ahab between his set teeth, and violently moving
away, as if to avoid some passionate temptation.

"No, sir; not yet," said Stubb, emboldened, "I will not tamely be
called a dog, sir."
[/quote]

This takes it into the realms of OT because that reminds me in turn of 

Opera.
1:33:45 into this, if you are interested.

I know it is nerdy but it's a favourite of mine.

It's very fine!
And could be very simple add a pebbled texture at the soil of the old city.
