Upon first approach the Gothic Queen Anne house cut an impressive image against Lake Forest. Divided from the surrounding forest by great gray stone wall, the house loomed large; however, upon closer inspection in its shadow aside the house rest a hidden treasure of a large well-established private garden, which had been long ago carved out of the surrounding wildness, and beyond the house overlooks the spectacular scenic natural beauty of the lake.
Coming up the private driveway, a strange wind blew the falling leaves across the road; two lanterns lit the way for the traveler to find the space through the wall to the parking garage a distance away from the house. The adjoining walkway leads up the stone staircase to the large porch and the heavy hardwood door, flanked on either side by elaborate ornamental stain glass windows. A shadow lurked beyond the windows waiting for the knock or a breach the unlocked door to make his presence known. Garm, the great black dog Hela had warned about was always lying in wait for someone to approach his territory.
He would shadow her steps. His owner would be found in the depths of the house, past the grand entrance hall that showcased eight doorways featuring intricate carved frames, where the tall raven-haired doctor stood before the table in the spacious light-filled kitchen, whose windows looked out over the moonlit lake, sorting through a few remaining boxes of glasses, mugs, dishware and arranging them in the cabinets, softly singing a melody as she worked.
