Too, I supposed that the garden walls would be similar to those of the courtyard itself, and, if this should be so, attaining their summit might constitute a dubious victory. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 15, Sentence #45)

How long, for example, would it take to traverse, say, the corridor between the gate of the garden, if I could reach it, from the courtyard, or palace steps, and the cover of the garden, and between this cover, and the exterior wall? I considered the height of the walls. Quite high. No trees I noted were near enough to the walls to afford access to the summit of a wall. Too, I supposed that the garden walls would be similar to those of the courtyard itself, and, if this should be so, attaining their summit might constitute a dubious victory. From the sparkle of sunlight by day, and the glint of moonlight by night, I had determined that the courtyard wall, at least that portion which I could see from my quarters, was armed. Anchored in the top of the wall were pieces of broken glass, shards of pottery, and blades, and, strung about the wall, were dangling strips of metal which would be difficult to elude, and which, if not eluded, would produce a jangling of disturbed metal unlikely to pass unnoted. Something of this sort, I supposed, defensive arrangements, would be likely to characterize the garden walls, as well. - (Rebels of Gor)
