    Dear Ms Puddle,

    About the reconstruction, hihihi not only had he paid and given a lot of attention to it, I have thought beside his main reason to help the orphanage, he also wanted Candy having better room for herself. And he possibly also added a few guest rooms. What for? You can easily guess, right?
    So yes, agree with you, I never buy the idea Albert was too busy for Candy. True he might have had hectic schedules, but it’s not the problem for their relationship. Don’t we all agree Candy was an independent and not a clingy kind of young lady who desperately asked lots of attention? 😉

    And for the painting. I live in tropics, but on my latest trip to Japan, i visited this garden which at that time fully covered by snow. It’s beautiful, btw. 😍. Then on spring, my friend went to the same garden. The view was totally different to mine. You only recognized it was the same garden because of a few landmarks. So yes, Terry wouldn’t be able to easily recognize the pony home and the pony hill right away. Remember it’s said Terry left the house when the tea was still warm? On a winter day, 100 years ago, how long a cup of tea could remain warm? 🙂 not more than half an hour I am sure.

      Dear Reeka, excellent points about why else Albert wanted to finance the reconstruction. The purchase of the land had already helped Pony’s Home significantly, taking the financial burden off the kind ladies’ shoulders. But he probably wanted to give Candy peace of mind too… She wouldn’t stay in the orphanage forever after all.

      Like you, I never agree Albert was too busy for Candy. He might have been terribly preoccupied with work, but he wrote Candy long and heartfelt letters in his spare time, something she said she had wanted from Terry but all she had got from the budding actor had been teasing letters… 😂 sigh…

      Thank you so much for your contribution about the huge differences winter snow can do the landscapes or sceneries. What you said makes total sense, that a mere half an hour (it could be even less, because it takes time and effort to trudge on the snow when he went up and down ) of standing up on the hill would not necessarily help Terry remember what Pony’s Home looked like, especially when everywhere was covered by a thick blanket of snow. What’s more, he might not be even looking down that direction. What if he was staring far into a distance?

        Thanks for the reply, my friend. I hope you’ve had wonderful weekend.

        A little further detail on how long Terry stood there on Pony Hills. My dear, yes the tea could be losing its warm much less than half an hour. Like I said, it’s winter, Michigan is one of the coldest state in the states when winter. And it’s pony home, not Ardley mansion, the room heater/fireplace must have been just decent. The max duration of half an hour was the duration since the ladies served the tea until Candy’s arrival. We could assume it took 10 minutes for Terry giving the courtesy to sit and had little conversation with the ladies. 5 minutes to walk up to the hill, and another 5 to come back to his carriage down the hill. It’s the fastest we could assume since obviously the snow was thick. So, only 5-10 minutes for staring and observing the landscape around from up there. 😉

        what you got from that brief moment? And the time Anohito found the painting at flea market ( another significant point it was hardly Terry), it was at least 10 years after that Terry visit. From such a distant memory, what could you remember from a brief visit with totally different looking landscape? Definitely the painting is not a favor for Terry side, I say.

          Well said, dear Reeka! I couldn’t have done it better 😗

          About Anohito finding the painting in a flea market… there must be more than one painting for sale, and he must be very familiar with the characteristics of the orphanage building such that he could recognize it at a glance. 🤔😁

    Hi, Ms Puddle
    I enjoyed every part of your series. A few days ago I wrote to Yue-Chan what I think about Candy’s letter to Vicent Brown. I’ll wait for your analysis and my gratitude for your extraordinary work.
    Regards from your friend Martha.

      Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Martha. 😘 Yes, that letter in CCFS has many implications, and now that I know that it was a new addition in the old novel, it’s very interesting indeed. I’ll share it on my blog as soon as possible. 💕 ¡¡Muchas gracias mi amiga 😗!!!
