The Kiss
by Madeline Carol

Charleston's High Battery is a lovely place at night, with stately mansions and lamplight's aglow. Madeline Carol's painting of this nineteen century Battery home is a splendid example of gracious living, elegance and style. Will this home share its secrets? Will this home reveal its tales of love, adventure and ghosts?

On a warm summer's evening the lamplight is aglow and the reflections of the light are cascading on the iron work, while the fragrance from the wisteria and magnolia blossoms fill the air and carry your imagination to another time...

Ghostly apparitions appear as a story unfolds; and for a moment, you are with the children on the balcony playing, giggling and then ... witnessing a stolen kiss; an expression of love. Two hearts claim their moment as harbor breezes carry the whispers of that stolen kiss into the night.

Was this moment imagination or is this beautiful antebellum home sharing one of its special memories from a day gone by?
