Author’s Notes:
There is a lot packed into this chapter – travel across the continents, meeting new people, seeing the house for the first time and the first hint that something is amiss at this strange grand house. Jane notices much but does not understand all of it, and she is only nineteen just arriving from an orphanage.
I have added a number of little lovely tidbits that make me quite happy. Her trip from India is brief, but she still gets to interact with a number of different people. It takes a bit for her to fully understand the house is a floating manor, but when she does she is ready to explore! Sophie, dear Sophie is now a mechanical. Because, why not?
