Court Cards [EPUB ebook]

The castle is painted so that it seemed to be built out of red brick and it has towers and a drawbridge… William opens the castle gate to peep into the spacious reception hall, where all the face cards from a pack – Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades – hang in frames upon the wall, like portraits in a real reception hall…-
