Olive Branch

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

"And... he won. His opponent was a little too slow, missed a few openings, left himself unguarded at the wrong time... and he won."

"He thanked me. I remember it feeling like he was thanking me specifically."
