In Bill Buckley’s apartment, there were trays of tissues and cigarettes

In Bill Buckley’s Park Avenue duplex—which seemed to take up almost an entire quarter of a city block—on every table and side table, by every chair, there were lovely, tiny silver trays, almost out of a dollhouse, each one containing tissues or cigarettes. On the walls, there were lots of portraits of his wife Pat.

    “…lots of portraits of his wife Pat.”…I’m trying to imagine and/or understand “lots”. It’s not working.
