On a clear day, Eloise would have a full view of Calais, the place of her birth. So close, yet so far. The place had once been her home…a lifetime ago…when her life had a semblance of meaning. Situated outside Dover, the grand mansion had stood for several hundred years on a plateau back from the steep seawall, which served as a barrier against the Strait of Dover. The rocky height of the cliffs rose steep and straight from the sea along the indented shoreline. The cliff road that led up to the grand and noble manor stretched wide with breathtaking beauty. An abundance of flowers lined the open fields along the winding path. With the window open in the carriage, the aroma of fragrant blooms swirled in the air. Looking out, Eloise saw the large, dominating structure looming before her. Looking at Height Point from this view reminded her of her first glimpse of what was to become her home. In the dead of night, she had crossed the Channel in the utmost of secrecy.
