“A series of wooden trusses with interlocking posts supports the roof. Jalan finds the symmetry of each truss marching in line down the length of the building fascinating. The walls are only framed. There is no siding or interior paneling in place. It is possible to look at the entire skeleton of the building. The floor planks are all laid. Master Enmar says Lady Darla must have spent a good deal of silver to get all the glass paper he and Jalan use to smooth the floor. The interior is huge. Six... men could easily stand in a row with their arms outstretched between them and not touch each other or the walls. And, that is only the width of the building. The length would be ten men at least. From the floor to the bottom of a roof truss is nearly the height of two men. Jalan could not understand why the room needs to be so tall, but when he mentions it to Master Enmar his teacher simply gives him a knowing smile and leaps up to touch a roof truss. Jalan thought he imagined it. Surely no one can jump that high.MoreLessRead More Read Less
