“If his mother saw him, she would worry about the fine linens, the antiques, the rug hand woven in cashmere. Living in Elm Medona exhausted him. It was like living in a museum, only worse because his mother, Great-Aunt Maisie, and Great-Uncle Thorne were everywhere, watching him and breathing down his neck. If Felix could have one wish, it would be to move back upstairs to the servants’ quarters. At least he could arrange his room there however he wanted, get into bed without taking a bath first..., and touch anything he wanted, any time he wanted. Samuel Dormitorio, his bedroom in Elm Medona, especially exhausted him. Named for Samuel Santiago, a Spanish duke and childhood friend of Great-Uncle Thorne’s, the room had swords and old guns hanging everywhere, a terrifying bull’s head with giant horns on it staring at him from the wall directly across from the bed, and an oil painting by some famous artist of Saint Sebastian with his body pierced by a million swords above the headboard.MoreLessRead More Read Less
