Dismantling

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

"Hell no," she says, kneeling down on the other side to get back to work."S'why I've had to focus hard on what I can. One of the reasons I'm doing this now."
