Through (the) slats of...
Hello everyone!
Can I say the following without the definite article?
The man peered through slats of the blinds.
The man did not peer through all slats of the blinds, just a couple. Is it okay to omit the definite article, or does it have to be "…the slats of the blinds"?
Thank you for your kind help.
