Prudence leaned toward the window to see her destination. The massive stone house built in the Palladian style stood at the head of a rolling park and seemed to sail serenely on a green sea.Would this be her new home? Would she be the mistress of this great house?Even before the carriage stopped, liveried footmen magically appeared and formed a line up the steps to the entryway.
