Mrs. Plumb had passed on. No one had known her beyond her name. Family didn’t emerge to lay claim to her estate, although it was clear that the Victorian style home and the land it sat upon were quite valuable.
Never in your lives had you stepped inside the house. The court appointed public administrator organized an auction of the contents, which at last offered that opportunity. The tour of the home was fascinating. Oddities and antiques were hoarded in an organized and surprisingly tended fashion in every room. As interesting as all of it was, it was a glimpse through a rear-facing window which captured your lasting attention, although what you saw was only an old gate leading to an overgrown garden.
It had never occurred to you to wonder how far back the property went, but you left the auction doing just that. Perhaps you’ll return to stroll the garden when there were less people about.
‘Perhaps you’ll return’ means that you definitely return. Each of you return to the estate where you stand as a group and peer through the paint-peeled portal.
Very unusual.
