No, she's the one.
That afternoon was one of the best Solomon Locke could remember.
Rachel had loved the ornamental gardens and the winding hedge maze, the art gallery, its walls bedecked with the work of artists both great and small, including some masterworks thought lost for decades or even centuries, had rendered her almost speechless.
They had visited the village of Lockton, where most of Penderin's staff lived, and which furnished the estate with fresh fruit and vegetables and other household necessities.
They'd eaten fresh strawberries and drank fine champagne as they watched water dance from a fountain designed by Henri Leon Grabert, one of two in existence in the whole country.
Hours later, they stood on one of the great house's balconies, gazing out over the 300-acre estate.
Over there, you can see the reservoir and the pump house that my grandfather built.
The structure next to it is the power plant.
The estate isn't connected to any public utilities.
Complete self-sufficiency.
That was my grandfather's goal.
Oh, oh, and that big building over there, the one that looks like a miniature version of the main house?
Rachel nodded as he pointed to a stately edifice that was clearly a mansion in its own right.
That's the lodge.
It's where out-of-town family members and important guests stay when they visit.
It's also traditionally where the women of the family stay when they deliver babies and for the first few months or so after.
Uncle Boney says that's where I was born.
It's like I said, Rach.
If you stay here with us, me, you'll never need to move again.
It's like our own little kingdom.
