High in the heavens floats the visage of the late Lord Arthur Reynold Hanover, the uncle Kris Robinson never knew existed until a few nights ago when he learned he had inherited Hanover's immense wealth, hereditary title, and mammoth manor estate in England. To begin with, exactly how is Lord Arthur Reynold Hanover related to Kris? Is he Kris's mother's brother? His father's? His father? Aside from that, there is this: Those who knew Lord Hanover continue to speak highly of him -- of his kindness, his wisdom, his humor, his generosity. Professionally, he was an inventor-scientist, working long stretches in complete solitude in parts of the manor nobody else had access to. Rumor has it that he holds several dozen patents, and that his inventions have earned more money than he originally inherited from his father. Interspersed between these periods of labor were equally long periods of world travel to exotic locales -- times when he was incommunicado and about which he rarely spoke upon his return. |
