The Hatchard Memorial Library in North Dormer holds books nobody has asked for in years, and Charity Royall sits in the dust of it knowing this room is the whole of what her life intends to offer her. Then a young architect arrives to sketch the old houses of the valley, and the summer opens like a door.

A girl came out of lawyer Royall's house, at the end of the one street of North Dormer, and stood on the doorstep.
