The lodge was a ruin of black granite and bared ribs of rafters, but facing it was a new building, half constructed, the first fruit of Sir Charles's South African gold.
Portnerboligen var nå en ruin av sort granitt med nakent bindingsverk. Men like i mot den kunne sees en ny, ennå bare halvferdig bygning, førstegrøden av sir Charles' sydafrikanske gull.
