  5. 1. Cape Cartier
    2.

    5. Since the chairs were upholstered in burgundy, I will guess that the drapes were burgundy also. But they were heavy drapes.

    Okay, without having access to the books, I can't answer the questions. But the books do sound very good! I will have to look for them when I get to a bookstore again sometime, which won't be for a few months.
