    Summary

    Damian's first impression of his father's ancestral home—and thus, by extension, of his own—is of cold. His second, coming immediately after the first, is of a kind of wretched, clinging dampness. The house, barely visible through the driving rain, lurks like a great lumpen beast on the lawns, less a house than an assemblage of wings and awnings and spires, windows scattered willy-nilly across its front.
