Excerpt from In Sight of Land, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel

One bright morning news came to the village, and filtered through the neighbour hood, that the house was undergoing a sort of renovating process. Mr. Banks and a whole army of workmen were busily engaged there - their vans were seen crawling slowly through the highways and by-ways towards the house. Mr. Banks was besieged with questions, and curiosity was rife everywhere. No avant-courrier had brought accounts of the new-comers - they might have dropped down from heaven, or risen up out of the sea, for aught anybody knew about them. Mr. Banks could tell nothing - he knew nothing. He had received his instructions from the, banking firm in London under whose orders he had always acted; he did not even know the name of the new tenants.
