<head>Chapter 1: The Manor House</head>
<p><name type="person">Charles</name> hadn't visited the manor
house since <date when="1955-04-10">Easter, 1955</date>,
and now he remembered why.</p>
<p><said>Hullo</said>, he called out as he walked up the drive,
and then, as if to himself, <said>To be or not to be?, to
walk or not to walk, <del>to talk or not to talk</del>...oh, <emph>hang</emph> it all!</said>
His meditation on Hamlet was interrupted as he collided
with a peacock.<said xml:lang="fr">Sacré bleu!</said> he
<del>exclaimed</del><add>cried</add> with irritation, his <foreign xml:lang="fr">sang-froid</foreign> completely
deserting him. It was going to be a long week. His catalog of irritations included:
<list>
<item><label>1.</label> The weather</item>
<item><label>2.</label> The peacocks</item>
<item><label>3.</label> His meagre grasp of French</item>
<item><label>4.</label> The ridiculous remoteness of the site</item>
</list>
