For example, in the case of this sentence: > I drove past the empty stables and servant's quarters, and after another quarter mile I entered a very large circular driveway. Is it implied that both entities, **the stables** and **the servant's quarters** are empty? Or do I have _empty_ stables and _servant's quarters_ that may or may not be occupied? How do I assert that both are empty without sounding redundant? I don't want to do this: _I drove past **the empty stables and the empty servant's quarters** , and after another quarter mile I entered a very large circular driveway._
