There were no windows on our side of the house, that fronting the yard. - (Kajira of Gor, Chapter 30, Sentence #404)

The dwelling within, which fronted on the yard, was a two-story building of dark, fitted stone. Its portal was sturdy, not unusual in a Gorean house, and was reached by a high, narrow flight of stairs, this leading to a broad landing.

There were no windows on our side of the house, that fronting the yard. This was unusual, given the yard. On the other hand most Gorean dwellings do not have windows on the street side. Apparently one was not to be permitted to see into the dwelling even from the yard, which, one supposed, would normally be private to the dwelling. - (Kajira of Gor)
