The white wooden houses (so white that it makes one wink to look at them), with their green jalousie blinds, are so sprinkled and dropped about in all directions, without seeming to have any root at all in the ground; and the small churches and chapels are so prim, and bright, and highly varnished; that I almost believed the whole affair could be taken up piecemeal like a child's toy, and crammed into a little box.
The house was painted a dazzling white; the outside shutters, or jalousies, were green.
The glow of a sunshiny day was toned down by closed jalousies to a mere transparency of darkness.
