Premise: The garden was full of ripe odours and warm colours .<br>The Lombardies around it were tall and sombre like the priestly forms of some mystic band .<br>Abel was sitting in the hop-vine arbour ; beside him Captain Kidd slept .<br>I thought Abel was asleep , too ; his head leaned against the trellis and his eyes were shut .
Hypothesis: Abel lay sleeping, his eyes shut and his head against the trellis.
