Creed
“For all its glory, however, it hadn’t been easy to find. One local that Creed had stopped to ask had heard of the place, but was blowed if he knew where the bugger was ’xactly. Another sent him off in a totally wrong direction. Finally he managed a reliable route instruction from the village post office.
The home was several miles from the village itself, tucked away down a tree-lined country lane with only an insignificant and weather-worn sign proclaiming its existence. Creed had steered ...the Suzuki between the unimposing brick pillars of the gateway and driven along the winding drive until the trees and foliage on each side opened out and the mansion was there in the distance across the sweeping lawns. He brought the jeep to a halt.
