"A little farther on they passed a tent that had three floors and several turrets; and a short way beyond that was a tent that had a front garden attached, complete with birdbath, sundial, and fountain."
— Description of Roberts's campsite.[src]

A sundial is a device that can be used to tell the time of day, through the relative position of the sun in the sky. In common designs, the sun casts a shadow onto a surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day.[3]
