The days had passed quietly. Slowly and steadily the family mansion started to sport a new wardrobe. The roof was on its way to a new hood and the interior became a new polish. A glimpse of what his home had once been was slowly starting to shine through. No workers were in his employment and so Thomas had to do more and more of the manual labour himself. Surely, Carter Cushing would even now find room for critique. But he was dead - his opinion stripped of its former importance. Tired arms made Thomas long for a break and sullenness of the mansion for fresh air. It drove him outside onto the grounds this place had decided they should live on. He wandered over to the horse and petted it on the neck. It still needed a paddock and so was bound to a metal hook with a long cord. |
