Major Goldsmith's house, Sul. Major Goldsmith and an Arab man standing on the steps of his home. We went straight up to Major Goldsmith's house, an enchanting Persian house with a garden full of yellowing pomegranate trees and rows of late-floweringcosmos. You go in through a little hall in the centre of the house to an open diwan with wooden columns, looking onto the garden and there we sat and had tea.
