Stunning.. Love it..

You get lost back in time..

Although my house could fit in one room of the castle, I, too am not sure how many rooms I have as I never know whether to count bathrooms, entrance ways, halls etc. as rooms. Some of the landings there are bigger than both floors of my house but I doubt they would be considered 'rooms' nor would disused out-of-date servants rooms perhaps, so I don't see any problem with her not knowing.

How could the countess not know how many rooms are in her home ? 2 to 3 hundred. Wow thats quite a range. If it pleases her ladyship I will gladly volunteer to count the rooms. likes.

Nice to see, but I am asking myself what to do on earth with 200 (or 300 whatever) rooms.

P.S. I am asking myself, "not knowing exact how many room the house has", is that a valse form of modesty (not daring to say that is in fact -for normal people- too many)

[rmtmiller]

I hereby volunteer to count the actual number of rooms in the castle since it's still a vague "2 or 3 hundred".
