It starts with a dream. Add faith, and it becomes a belief.  Add action, and it becomes a part of life.  Add perseverance, and it becomes a goal in sight.  Add patience and time, and it ends with a dream come true. ~ Doe Zantamata 

For those that want to refresh their memory or those that have not read the previous installment, you can find it here.

In June of 2010, a raven-haired young woman from the United States of America traveled to France and presented documents to the government with claims of being the rightful heir to the château.  With the help of several trusted solicitors, and fluent in the French language she eloquently presented her case to the Council of Ministers.   Upon completion of a stringent verification process, that took several years to complete, the château, and surrounding lands were deeded back to the family in perpetuity. While the original family name is shrouded in mystery,  there are whispers that the young woman is a descendant of the French aristocracy.  Mind you, these are but whispers.

Upon securing the family inheritance, the young woman immediately set about restoring the long-neglected château, gardens, and surrounding land.  Word soon spread throughout the countryside, and the area residents overcome with curiosity stopped by to welcome the new occupant and see for themselves the stunning transformation taking place.  So impressed by her determination to restore the stately château, and return it and the grounds to their former glory, the locals have become highly protective of the lady’s efforts, helping where needed, and taking it upon themselves to watch over their “Lady” and Petit Lac Des Cygne.

Present day

Restoration is nearing completion on the château and gardens.  The “Lion de Montagne,” as she is affectionately known by the locals, has graciously opened her home and surrounding grounds to the public.

And those that were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those that could not hear the music.  ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

The Lady Constance sat upon the seat staring at herself in the mirror contemplating having to stand or sit this day for of all things a silly portrait.  Sticking her tongue out at her reflection she giggled.  Her parents the Duke and Duchess had commissioned this painting months ago as the artist Fragonard was in such high demand these days.  Her ladies maid entered her chamber, and on cue, Constance stood as Marie helped her dress. Turning this way and that in front of the mirror she was satisfied her parents would applaud her efforts.  Marie nodding her approval turned and left the room. Listening carefully as her footsteps faded, Constance convinced that she was now alone, hefted her skirts, sat down upon a chaise and began to remove her shoes as they pinched her toes,  probably because she went barefoot most of the time and she didn’t want to soil her new stockings either.   So, off they came too.  None would be the wiser if she walked carefully.  Laughing to herself she danced out to have her portrait painted, deciding that a barefoot duchess might soon be all the rage at Versailles.

Just a little teaser to the continuing story of Lac Des Cygnes.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
