kelly Hull audiobook narration. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Chapter one an evening in Mercer House. He was tall, about 50, with darkly handsome, almost Sinister features, a neatly trimmed mustache hair turning silver at the temples, and eyes so black. They were like the tinted windows of a sleek limousine. He could see out, but you couldn't see in. We were sitting in the living room of his victorian house. It was a mansion really, with 15 ft ceilings and large, well proportioned rooms. A graceful spiral stairway rose from the center hall toward a domed skylight. There was a ballroom on the second floor. It was Mercer House, one of the last of Savannah's great houses, still in private hands together with the walled garden and the carriage house and back. It occupied an entire city block. If Mercer House was not quite the biggest private house in savannah, it was certainly the most grandly furnished architectural digest. Had devoted six pages to it. A book on the interiors of the world's great houses featured it alongside Sagamore hill, biltmore and Chartwell. Mercer House was the envy of house, proud savannah Jim Williams lived in it alone. Williams was smoking a king Edward cigarillo. What I enjoy most, he said, is living like an aristocrat without the burden of having to be one blue bloods are so inbred and weak. All those generations of importance and grandeur to live up to. No wonder they lack ambition. I don't envy them. It's only the trappings of aristocracy that I find worthwhile. The fine furniture, the paintings, the silver, the very things they have to sell when the money runs out and it always does. Then all they're left with is their lovely manners. He spoke in a drawl as soft as velvet. The walls of his house were hung with portraits of european and american aristocrats by Gainsborough, Hudson, Reynolds, whistler, the provenance of his possessions traced back to dukes and duchesses, kings, queens, czars, emperors and dictators. Anyhow, he said, royalty is better end of demo.
