An Improper Lady (The Powder And Patch Collection)
“Anton was feeling rather nervous. After all, twelve months ago, she had been modest Rosie Delacourt, living quietly in the country with her widowed father and her younger brother. Now, she was mistress of St. Anton Court, one of the largest and finest Elizabethan houses in England. And perhaps, she thought, surveying the hive of activity that was the great hall, a Christmas house party might prove just a trifle ambitious for her first venture as a society hostess!
St. Anton Court was approa...ched by means of a wooden footbridge over the moat, which lapped at the outer walls of all four wings. The original 14th century house comprised a grand hall with a cluster of rooms leading off along winding passage ways. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, four wings had been added, and the most recent contribution, from Jack’s grandfather, was the grand Gatehouse Tower on the west range. The half-timbered black and white walls of the main building contrasted pleasantly with the golden sandstone of more recent additions.MoreLess
