"<span>In The History of the Kings of Britain, Geoffrey of Monmouth proposes to set forth the history of the British kings starting with Brutus and ending with Cadwallo. Geoffrey undertakes this endeavor at the request of the Archdeacon of Oxford who presents Geoffry with an ancient text to translate from British into Latin. The history of the British kings shows how fortune, jealousy, and betrayal can lead to the demise of an entire nation. On the other hand the text also details the qualities that are necessary in a good ruler who unites his people in peace. While Geoffrey's account reads like a novel, the basis for the book is historical and gives the reader a generalized view of British history."

This is the excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby".
The word bazaar might also be confusing, so let's just say it's a kind of open market.
So, we have a boy who rushes into that market and finds him self in a hall around which is a gallery with lots of empty, closed stalls.
That can be enough to infer the meaning of the word "girded" which is "surrounded", "encompassed" or "encircled".
