The house has a magic that changes all of them mysteriously and irrevocably. Lady Caroline also begins to change, having all this time to just think and escape the pawing of everyone makes her come to some startling conclusions about herself. Fisher remains obstinate and stoic, wanting everything her way, with her own space and her own memories, but she soon starts to flex, ever so slightly. Arbuthnot starts to unwind and see that perhaps she has been too hard on her husband and his writing.
Her heart flowing over with goodwill and serenity that must be shared with all. Wilkins is the first to embrace the change the place has wrought in her, writing to her husband she was trying to escape from to join her. The burgeoning wisteria, the fragrance of the bushes. Once in Italy, they are all overcome with the beauty and the abundance of flowers. Fisher, who just wants to be left alone in the Italian sun remembering her glory days, and Lady Caroline Dester, who just wants to escape her fame and infamy. So soon they place an ad for two more people, and are joined by the elderly Mrs. It wouldn't be wrong, would it, to spend it on herself for once? Yet, to share this good fortune among only two seemed wrong. Arbuthnot had the money that her husband sets aside for her, the ill gotten gains of his writing scandalous memoirs of famous mistresses, that she usually spends on God's work. They could easily afford the place together. Arbuthnot was just as dissatisfied with her life too. Arbutnot that day, looking at the same ad, something clicked in Mrs. But she couldn't possibly spend her money on something so frivolous, what would her husband Mellersh say? Anyway it's too expensive for one. The medieval castle of San Salvatore beckons to her. Wilkins sees an advertisement in The Times for a house rental in Italy for the entire month of April.
