Well; I staid about three Months at _Adrianople_, made a Truce there for Seven Months, and in _March_ was attended back again to _Constantinople_. When I came thither, I was quite weary of being mew’d up in my old Lodging, it was so close, and therefore I dealt with my _Chiaux_, (a sort of Officers among the _Turks_, which serve for divers Employments, of which Attendance on Ambassadors is one) that I might have Liberty, as other Ambassadors had before me, to hire an House at my own Charge, where I may have the Benefits of Gardens, Orchards, and a free Air to breath in. The _Chiaux_ was not averse to my Proposal, for he saw that the _Grand Seignior_’s Interest was concerned therein, who was wont to hire Houses for Ambassadors, at the yearly Rent of 400 Ducats; and now all that Expence would be saved: Hereupon I went to a House, or Island rather, hired with my own Money, where there was a broad Field adjoyning, which I resolved to turn into a Garden, and to relieve my wearisom Embassy, in managing and planting it: But, see the Spight of it! When the _Chiaux_ found, by Experience, that he could not have so strict an Eye over me in an open House that had many Ways to it, with a large space of Ground near it, as he had in a _Caravansera_ (which Word you know the meaning of, by my former Letters) because this latter was fenced with Cross-barr’d Windows, and, besides, had but one Passage into it, he began to change his Mind, and thereupon made his Address to the _Bashaws_, who by this Time were returned from _Adrianople_, that I might retire from my former Lodging: And I was to look upon this as a great Courtesy too; for some of the _Bashaws_, in a Debate betwixt them, concerning the Disposal of me, were of Opinion, that, now I was alone, a less House would serve my turn, and so some Charge might be saved; But the more moderate Party carried it, that I should return to my old Quarters.
