  Chapter 1: The Manor House
  
Charles hadn’t visited the manor house since
     Easter, 1955, and now he remembered
       why.
  
“Hullo”, he called out as he walked up the 
     drive, and then, as if to himself, “To be or not
     to be?, to walk or not to walk, to talk or
     not to talk...oh, hang it all!” His
     meditation on Hamlet was interrupted as he 
     collided with a peacock. “Sacré bleu!” 
     he exclaimedcried
     with irritation, his sang-froid completely deserting 
     him. It was going to be a long week. His catalog of
       irritations included:
    
       1. The weather
       2. The peacocks
       3. His meagre grasp of French
       4. The ridiculous remoteness of the site
