Day 0 - The A697, Northumberland
‘Say the number again.’
‘You know the number.’
‘I like hearing it from you.’
The road had gone to shit nine miles back. Rory kept both hands on the wheel.
‘One hundred and eighty million pounds.’
‘Mm.’
She put her bare feet up on the dashboard. Knees bent and thighs falling open. The cut-offs were three years old - done with nail scissors in a hotel bathroom in Lisbon - and they rode up as she settled until the frayed edge sat less than an inch under the crease of her arse. Every time she shifted, they went a little further.
The backs of her thighs stuck to the seat. When she moved they came away with a soft sound. Light sweat showed in the crease behind her knees as the heater blew on her feet. The seatbelt cut diagonally between her breasts, pulling the vest tight over one and leaving the other free.
Five foot eleven. Most of it leg. She’d known what that did to people since she was fifteen.
Rory’s eyes left the road, went up the whole length of her. It stopped where the denim cut in and stayed there while he tried to work out whether she had anything on underneath.
From where he sat he could see the inside of her right thigh all the way up. Nothing of the left, except sparse frayed threads against her skin.
She wasn’t wearing anything under them. He didn’t know that yet.
‘Eyes on the hedge, Nevin.’
‘I’m looking at the hedge.’
‘You’re not.’
He was doing the thing with his jaw. She pressed her feet harder into the dash and let the shorts ride another half inch. She watched his knuckles go white on the wheel.
‘You do this on purpose.’
‘I do everything on purpose.’
The letter had come on a Tuesday.
She’d read it standing in the kitchen and decided by the fourth line. She’d signed it before he came downstairs. When he asked what it was she said something about a great-aunt and waved the envelope at him. He said all right then, the way he always did.
‘Complete the residential programme at Blackmere in its entirety, both parties, ninety days,’ she said. ‘And the estate and the trust pass absolutely. That’s not ambiguous. That’s actually rather good drafting.’
‘You have a law degree.’
‘I have a law degree, two years at Hendry Coyle, and a personal grievance against the profession. Four clear lines are four clear lines.’
‘And the programme?’
‘Is a word.’
‘Exactly.’
‘It’s just a word some ninety-nine-year-old woman put in her will. It’ll be lectures and a diet and having to learn the tenants’ names.’
She turned her head against the headrest and stretched. Slowly, arms up and shoulders rolling back. The vest lifted away from her waistband until a long strip of bare stomach showed. She held it a second longer than she needed to, watching his eyes drop exactly where she knew they would. A little smile pulled at the corner of her mouth.
Let him wonder what was under there.
‘Ninety days. It’s only one season.’
‘A season doesn’t come with a solicitor.’
‘Everything worth doing comes with a solicitor.’
She was twenty-eight and had eleven millions from three years of what her father still called modelling. She needed a hundred and eighty million pounds about as much as she needed a second liver.
She had met Honoria Vale twice.
Once at nine, at a funeral. A very tall old woman in a green coat looked down at her and said, ‘You’re the loud one.’ Cara said yes. The old woman said good and walked off. Someone gave Cara a sausage roll.
Once at twenty-two, on Jermyn Street. Fifty minutes. Honoria asked nine questions and gave her nothing back - not a single answer, not even a nod. At the end she simply said, ‘You’ll be wasted, you know. Girls like you always are. Nobody gives you anything difficult enough.’
Cara had thought about that conversation for six years.
So, no. It wasn’t only the money.
Blackmere
They came over the last rise at twenty past four. The valley opened underneath them. At the bottom of it sat Blackmere, grey and enormous.
‘Christ,’ Rory said.
‘Four thousand acres. Twenty cottages, a home farm, a chapel full of dead Vales. Entailed, so we can’t sell a brick of it.’
‘And the trust.’
‘A hundred and forty, which we can spend on whatever we like.’
‘You’ve thought about this.’
‘I’ve thought about nothing else for six weeks. I didn’t say it in front of you because you make that face.’
Five of them were on the steps. Standing about in a loose group. Waiting.
Cara got out and stretched.
Arms straight up, back arched, not caring about her audience. The white ribbed vest, nothing under it. The few degrees less than inside the car and it hit her wet back fast - the cold got her nipples almost instantly. Hard against the thin fabric. The stretch dragged the cut-offs tighter across her hips and higher on her thighs. Wind off the fell went straight up under them.
The gravel under her bare feet was sharp. She was on her toes without deciding to be.
Five people watched.
Four of them looked away.
The housekeeper came forward first. Sixties, small, short grey hair that looked like she’d given up on it years ago.
‘Miss Whitlock. Mr Nevin. I’m Mrs Dunnet.’
‘Cara.’ She held out her hand.
Mrs Dunnet looked at it, took it, and let go. She looked at Cara’s face and nothing else.
‘Miss Whitlock. Mr Finch is in the library.’
That was the first name.
The others came past while Mrs Dunnet named them.
‘Sister Pryor. She was Miss Vale’s nurse.’
Tall, mid-fifties, glasses pushed up into iron-grey hair. She said good afternoon and looked at Cara slowly. Started at the bare feet, up the long legs, the short cut-offs, then the thin vest and the two hard points under it. She didn’t look away.
‘Mr Devlin Marsh, the estate manager.’ Forties, weathered. The handshake ran four seconds long. He was standing lower down the steps than the others, so his eye-line was her thighs. His eyes went there and stayed, then up to her chest, then back in an unapologetic manner.
‘Miss Aleksic, Miss Vale’s assistant.’ Thirties, dark, completely still. She didn’t offer her hand. She said, ‘She talked about you,’ and that was all.
‘And Nell.’ Twenty-four, freckled, obviously a Dunnet. Looking at Cara like she wasn’t sure she was real. Eyes going repeatedly to the bare thighs, then to her hair. ‘My granddaughter. She’ll do for you.’
‘Do for me.’
‘Yes.’
‘Interesting choice of words. In the north it means look after. In certain novels it means murder.’
‘It means look after, Miss Whitlock.’
‘Good. Excellent.’
Behind her, very quietly, Rory said, ‘Ninety days.’
The Library
Mr Alistair Finch of Finch and Bowes, Alnwick, was seventy-one. He had handled the Vale estate for forty-one years and had made peace with awkward mornings.
A fire burned in the grate even though it was August - the thick stone walls held the chill in these parts.
Six chairs sat in a loose arc in front of the desk - all of them taken.
Cara sat in the middle - a deep wing chair. Sitting in it put her knees higher than her hips and the cut-offs went to almost nothing. Long bare legs, feet flat in the sandals. The fire was off to one side of the room; the heat reached her unevenly. Nowhere useful to put her hands.
The cousins were already seated on either side of her.
‘Gideon Vale.’ Fifty-something, dark suit that looked expensive without trying. ‘You’ll be Cara. My condolences - though I gather you barely knew her, so perhaps congratulations instead.’
‘You can do both.’
‘They rather are mutually exclusive, in my experience. My sister, Petra.’
Petra Vale was about forty-five and did not smile. She looked at Cara for a long time - started at the bare feet on the carpet, came up the legs without hurrying, took in the frayed edge of the cut-offs and the white vest with nothing under it, and arrived at her face last, having taken her time about it.
‘You’re taller than the photographs.’
‘Everyone is.’
‘And my nephew Hugo.’
Hugo Vale was twenty-five, red to the ears, staring hard at a spot on the carpet rather than at the length of bare thighs two seats away.
‘Right,’ said Mr Finch. ‘Shall we?’
It lasted fifty-five minutes. She didn’t interrupt for the first eleven of them.
The bones of it were what the letter had said. The Blackmere estate and the residuary trust, about one hundred and eighty million pounds, to pass absolutely to Cara Whitlock on the successful completion, by her and by Rory Nevin jointly, of the residential programme under the Fourth Schedule.
‘Ninety days from tomorrow. Certified weekly by me. Thursdays.’
‘And if we don’t complete it?’
‘Then the whole passes to Mr Gideon Vale and Mrs Petra Vale-Harrow in equal shares.’
Nobody reacted.
‘Either party may terminate at any time, on one word, without notice or penalty and without any requirement to give a reason. Termination by either party ends it for both.’
Cara sat up. The movement made the vest shift higher on her thighs. ‘Say that again.’
‘Termination by either party ends it for both.’
‘So, he can end mine.’
‘And you his.’
She looked at Rory who was looking at Finch.
‘That’s a hell of a clause.’
‘It is the one she spent the most time on. There are eleven drafts of it in the file.’
Then he turned to the Fourth Schedule, and it stopped being about money.
‘The programme is administered from the house. Instructions issued daily at six in the morning, to each participant separately, and are not disclosed between participants. Compliance is recorded in a register - the Ledger - which I initial weekly.’
‘Recorded how?’
‘Breaches are entered. Each entry carries a number of days.’
‘Days of what?’
‘Added to the ninety.’
Cara went still and the long bare stretch of her legs became more obvious.
‘So, it’s not ninety days.’
‘It is ninety days of compliance.’
‘That’s not the same sentence.’
‘No,’ Finch agreed, ‘it is not,’ and turned the page.
She was going to like Mr Finch. It wouldn’t help.
‘Paragraph nineteen. Entries may be appealed. In writing, by the participant, within twenty-four hours, determined by the house. Successful appeals are recorded and the days remitted.’
‘I can appeal.’
‘You may appeal.’
‘She put an appeals process in.’ Her voice came out strange. ‘She met me twice.’
From the doorway Sonja Aleksic said, ‘She said you’d want one.’
It was the first full sentence the woman had spoken and it was not trivial.
‘Paragraph twenty-four,’ Finch said. ‘Third-party allowances.’
‘Meaning?’
‘Certain named persons hold standing allowances in respect of the participants. Others may apply, in writing, for a discretionary pass.’
‘Apply to whom?’
‘To the house. I certify. An approved pass is entered in the Ledger with the applicant’s name and the date.’ He looked up over his glasses for the first time. ‘An approved pass in favour of a beneficiary carries a remission of days. One in favour of a member of staff, or any person having an interest in the estate, requires the applicant to post a bond, forfeit to you on completion.’
‘A bond.’
‘A sum. Or a tenancy. Or a legacy. As applicable.’
‘So, they pay.’
‘They pay.’
‘And the pass is for what, exactly?’
Finch didn’t look away and didn’t soften it.
‘It is for you, Miss Whitlock. Or for Mr Nevin. On such terms as the schedule provides.’
Every eye in the room moved at once.
Petra’s. Gideon’s - the second time he’d looked at her in fifty-five minutes, and both times while Finch was speaking. Hugo’s dragged off the carpet. Devlin Marsh had come in at some point and was standing by the door; his eyes caught on the long bare stretch of her legs before he forced them away again.
Cara sat still through it.
‘Right. And no pass without... ‘
‘Without the countersignature of the other participant. Twenty-four, subparagraph nine.’
She turned her head.
Rory was already looking at her.
Honoria
‘One further matter,’ said Finch, closing the file. ‘The house.’
‘What about it?’
‘Miss Vale spent the last four years of her life recording. Her judgements, her preferences, her manner of speaking. Miss Aleksic assisted. The instructions come from that.’ A small pause. ‘The staff find it easiest to refer to it as her.’
‘You’re telling me the house talks.’
‘I’m telling you that at six o’clock tomorrow morning you will receive your first instruction, and that it will be in her voice, and that you will find it is her.’
Cara laughed. It came out wrong.
‘That’s insane. Forgive me. That is a genuinely insane thing to spend four years doing.’
‘Yes,’ said Mrs Dunnet, from beside the door. ‘She was a very determined woman.’
It came at seven minutes past five, while Finch was packing his case.
No screen or chime. A woman’s voice out of the cornice, dry and unhurried and old, at ordinary volume, as though she’d been there the whole time.
‘You’re the loud one.’
Cara went cold.
‘That’s... ‘ She stopped. ‘That’s a recording. She said that to me when I was nine.’
‘You said yes. And I said good. And you have been chewing on it ever since, because nobody has given you anything difficult since, and you know it.’
The room was very quiet.
‘This is a party trick performed by a woman who’s been dead five months.’
‘Seven months.’
‘Seven, then.’
‘You’ll want to be right about the small things,’ Honoria said. ‘It’s the only way you’ll ever be right about the large ones.’
She had talked her way out of worse. Right now, she had nothing.
‘Mrs Dunnet will show you your rooms.’
‘Room.’
‘Rooms,’ Honoria said, and said nothing else.
The East Passage
Her room was on the second floor at the end of the east passage. Rory’s was on the floor below, at the far end of the house. It was a four-minute walk. Mrs Dunnet didn’t say a word the whole way.
It was a beautiful room, with a high ceiling, four tall windows, a queen size bed, a fire laid, and fresh flowers.
Her suitcases weren’t in it.
‘Where are my things?’
‘They’ll be gone through.’
‘By whom?’
‘By me. Anything permitted comes back tomorrow.’
‘And the rest?’
‘Kept. Nothing’s thrown away here.’
‘Mrs Dunnet. Can I ask you something as one grown woman to another?’
‘You may ask.’
‘Do you actually think this is all right?’
The only answer she got was a small, tight movement of the woman’s mouth, and:
‘There’s a robe on the back of the door. Sister Pryor comes at six.’
‘For what?’
‘Measurements.’
She checked the door within ninety seconds. It didn’t lock. None of the doors in the east passage did. The locks hadn’t been broken or painted over - they’d been taken out properly, and the holes filled and smoothed.
Six O’clock
Sister Pryor arrived at six exactly with a canvas roll under one arm and a clipboard.
‘Robe off, please, and stand on the towel.’
Cara took it off without ceremony. She’d been photographed naked for money since she was nineteen. She dropped the robe on the bed and stepped onto the towel. Bare. Chin up. Hands loose. Waiting to be looked at.
The towel was thin, the boards cold through it.
Sister Pryor pushed her glasses down her nose and took the top off a pen.
‘Feet together. Arms down. Don’t help me.’
That was the problem.
The tape was cloth and cold. It had been sitting in the roll all day in a room with no heating. It smelled of the canvas. When it first touched Cara’s arm she jumped a bit - goosebumps she could see on her own forearms. Sister Pryor made a small sound and kept going.
