Example of Exposition
"Carlivia" stretched out before them. The long winding driveway filled with gravel wound its way from the main road up to the house. Trees lined each side of the driveway and gave it a feeling of grandeur as well as looking like they were guarding the entry from intruders.
The main house had once being the original mansion to the estate that had always been subdivided and was now called Greenbriars. Originally 5000 acres in size the mansion now stood on a 50-acre property surrounded by modern dwellings. Regardless of this, a visitor to the mansion could not help but feel that they were stepping back in time.
The mansion was built of masonry around the turn-of-the-century. Being two stories in height it had the grandeur of the age in which was built and included a massive portico at the main entry to leave a visitor in no doubt whatsoever as to who had the power in this part of the land.
Casement windows were architecturally placed in the facade and each was provided with its own set of shutters for when the weather was inclement. A veranda stretched around the girth of the house both on the ground floor and on the first floor and combined with the ornate latticework helped the house to look totally grand.
Plants sympathetic to the era that the house was built in were planted along the driveway nearer to the house. In the distance a conservatory could be seen surrounded by a beautiful rose garden. Being spring the roses were in full-bloom and it was such a magnificent sight.
The current owners had lived there for eight years. Originally moving from the inner-city they will looking for something not too far out-of-town but that was still in a reasonable distance from their business premises so that there was not too far to drive in the morning and a night-time. They had been so lucky when the family of the owners of the property had put up for sale and they were soon enjoying the magnificence of their new home. They had renamed the property "Carlivia" after their two children Carlo and Olivia. A fitting name as the two children loved the property and all that it had to offer.
Carlo and Olivia would delight in playing in the outdoors in the grounds of the mansion and will ride for hours on their two horses that they had been given shortly after they had moved there.
Being social people and very family oriented the family often had friends and other children over on weekends to enjoying the wonderful layout and openness of the property they had been so fortunate to find themselves living in.
