                                 Chapter 31

   Pennsylvania, April, 2005 CE

   It was a month before she finally sent for me. We hadnât spoken at
   all, and then plop! some money for plane tickets and a note asking me
   to come just showed up in a FedEx envelope. I was used to this by now
   though and was sick of sitting around at home all the time, so I
   booked the first plane out the next day.

   You build up mental images of places when you hear about them. For
   some reason I had it in my head that the house in Pennsylvania would
   be one of those sprawling, piecemeal farms that you see in paintings;
   a small house with an obvious addition, a barn in the back to one
   side. But the place was huge, spread out across a hilltop at the end
   of a tree-lined gravel drive. It had a very Victorian look to it, but
   there was a wrap-around porch with a large balcony overhanging it.
   Each end of the house was marked with big, multi-windowed rooms. As
   the limo pulled around the driveway I also saw a modern-looking barn
   and what looked like a corral. When the driver parked in front of the
   house I saw her coming across the lawn on horseback.
