Leithen and I stopped at the top of the hill and looked down again into the little green valley.
Leithen laughed softly. `That house!' he said. `I'm going to read everything I can find about old
Carteron. I'm sure he was an extraordinarily clever man. I'm sure his spirit is still alive down there. He's
making other people do as he did. You can send away the chaplain, and turn the house upside−down.
But Carteron will get what he wants in the end.'
The sun came out from behind a cloud, and shone on the stone walls of Fullcircle. It seemed to me
that the house had a look of gentle triumph.
