“I am doing all right. This first week has been like a blur. I’ve been working all around the estate. Sometimes I help in the house, other times out on the farm, or chopping wood, or running errands. I’m not too sure how any of this is supposed to build my “character,” but I can tell you that this place certainly is filled with characters. Maybe the strangest of them all is Mr. Bell himself; he’s downright different and the locals think he’s “batty.” The only interesting thing going on here invo...lves them working on a special type of boat called a hydrofoil. It looks like a gigantic cigar with wings more than it does a boat. It is powered by not one, but two, aircraft engines. I heard that when they turn on the engines the sound inside the building is enough to rattle the fillings right out of your teeth. But it doesn’t really matter though, because it’s the one place on the whole estate where they won’t let me work. I’m good enough to shovel sheep manure or weed gardens, or cut wood or even work as a helper when they’re throwing fancy parties for their fancy friends, but not good enough to work on the hydrofoil.MoreLessRead More Read Less
