The Inventor (The Legend Chronicles) - Plot & Excerpts
The gray granite façade, barricaded by a sturdy black iron fence, was three stories tall and at least three windows wide on either side of the main entrance. If he’d had such a grand house, he likely would have equipped it with a great spying glass mounted to the roof and perhaps a trapdoor beneath the front step to ensure unwanted visitors didn’t call again soon. Seeing no such equipment, he supposed Lord Hargrieve didn’t need to dissuade visitors who might interrupt his work. The small mechanical dog clicked and whirred in his leather satchel. He never should have let Thadeus wind it up again before he left. For a second Marley wondered what Lady Persephone would make of the little toy, but then he ruthlessly reminded himself of his purpose at the great house. He might want to court her, but he had far greater aspirations on his mind. The experiment he planned to test his airborne electrical transmission enhancer was to be a crowning achievement. Her Majesty had already drummed up enthusiasm for it among her cabinet members.
