 This is a postcard. The house (left corner); A mahogany paneled room (right corner); Karen's bedroom (right bottom); A replica of the RCA Victor gramophone (center bottom); Floor-to- ceiling library shelved with Denys' books, each with a DFH plaque (left bottom). |
 A manicured walkway circles from Karen Road to the veranda where Karen spun stories at sundown for guests, most especially Denys. |
 Karen's repeated attempts to establish a coffee plantation were foredoomed because neither the soil nor the altitude was right for such a crop. Here's Jeff in front of the house. |
 Now the acreage is a park of palms, Norfolk pines and columnar cypress, backed by the smoky blue Ngong Hills. The most startling plant is a ghostly-gray giant cactus, shaped like a candelabra. |
