Hello everyone. I would like to know what "in amongst the bigger windows are tiny ones" means in the following sentences:
At last we follow Jules and Will up towards the Folly. Will tells us it was originally built as a coastal defence, then converted by some wealthy Irishman into a holiday home a century ago: a place to retreat to for a few days, entertain friends. But if you didn’t know you could almost believe it was medieval. There’s a small turret and in amongst the bigger windows are tiny ones: ‘false arrowslits’, Charlie says – he’s quite into castles.
- Lucy Foley, The Guest List, Chapter 8
This is a thriller novel published in 2020 in the United Kingdom. One hundred and fifty guests would be gathering at some remote and deserted fictional islet called Inis an Amplóra off the coast of the island of Ireland to celebrate the wedding between Jules (a self-made woman running an online magazine called The Download) and Will (a celebrity appearing in a TV show program called Survive the Night). The day before the actual wedding day, before the rehearsal dinner, Hannah, the wife of Charlie (Jules' friend), arrives at the island with Charlie. So now they follow Will and Jules (who were on the jetty to welcome them) to the Folly, where the wedding will be held tomorrow.
In this part, I wonder what "in amongst" and "tiny ones" mean in particular.
(1) Is "in amongst" here basically the same with "among"? Or "in between"?
(2) And does "tiny ones" here mean "tiny windows"?
I would very much appreciate your help.
