Another villa with a similar location is Bignor. It was located near Stane Street, for easy access to Londinium.

The architecture of the 1920s was very elaborate and strongly influenced by European movements. Soaring business profits and higher wages allowed American to afford more expensive architecture (“The Great Depression (1920–1940").

A person begins to read, their body submerged in goose bumps. The description of the setting makes them fear for the protagonist. Their head fills with the anticipation of what what might happen next. They start to wonder if the protagonist is going to live.
