The sunlight filtered through the thin mist, gradually illuminating the mansion district near Hyde Park.
Among them was a red-bricked, white-bordered Georgian mansion—spacious and elegant, its front yard was a meticulously manicured garden. The neighbors knew that this serene oasis belonged to Sir Arthur Hastings. Even though he had moved here a long time ago, it was only recently that he had become familiar with the neighbors.
