Antoinette shifted her focus from the world outside to the interior of her spacious office. Lining its walls and adorning the imported furniture were objets d’art interspersed with personal mementos: the souvenir from the honeymoon to Tanzania, a piece of the Titanic, the original copy of Proust’s Rememberance of Things Past, the kids?...
