Prudence

But home turned out to be a decaying mansion in the Lake District, and family were his glamorous, scatty mother who forgot the mounting bills by throwing wild parties, and brothers, Ace, dark and forbidding, and Jack, handsome, married and only too ready to take over with Pru if Pendle didn't get a move on.

Dar casa s-a dovedit a fi un conac in descompunere in Lake District, iar familia era mama lui plina de farmec, care a uitat facturile crescande organizand petreceri salbatice, iar fratii, Ace, intunecat si interzis, si Jack, frumos, casatorit si numai prea mult gata sa preia cu Pru daca Pendle nu trecea mai departe.
