Hazy morning sun dappled light between the ancient trees. Old roses and herbs bloomed in a garden where fat geese strutted.

  Tapestry
"Before the abbot came here, this place was overgrown with brambles and eglantine. For centuries shepherds took shelter here in winter. Until a few years ago the castle was completely hidden, like the castle of La Belle au Bois Dormant. If you'll permit me, I'll show you where we've hung our tapestry."
