July at the Manor

by zanya


The familiar thud of the croquet mallet rent the air. Champagne glasses glinted.   Butler Amish polished vigorously.

Harston Manor was Amish’s life  since before Marquis Charles’s birth  thirty-six years earlier.

 

A  sense of ennui invaded Charles’s spirit.

Donning his straw boater, he ascended  the  staircase to his boudoir. Clutching his suitcase, he exited by the servants’ quarters  and climbed into the waiting carriage.

 

Tourists now  gaze at his croquet mallet in the Manor’s archive.
