alcove

As well as embedding objects in them, some had small, undecorated alcoves just big enough for a single person to crouch within.

We then passed into a second garden, at the top of which is the alcove mentioned by Mrs. Hemans.

Hence it drove over and past their alcove and they remained dry.

When John returned to the door Brother Paul was standing by the alcove gazing with wet eyes on the text hanging above the bed.
