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