"We use solar power." The Duchess replies simply, as you step inside.
The parlor of the Sinclair family is...sturdy. There are few guilded fripperies or lacey doiles, or fabulous curtains.
But the thick oak furniture and fur rugs look comfortable and aged. A few tapestries and hunting trophy animal heads adorn the place. It's much less dusty than you'd expected.
With a clatter of dishes, and a set of very Anglo-Saxon curses, Glorianna emerges with a China Tray of tea, biscuits, and lemon, setting them on the small table before you.
The Duchess takes a small, slurping sip of her tea, then exhales.
"Now...perhaps we should start by asking you how you came to know little Isaac in the first place?"
