ROOMS FOR LET

I heard from Rudy that the Fennecs have a solution to their immediate money worries: they’re converting their enormous (and paid for) mansion into a boarding house. While their fortune is gone, this strategy will give them a reliable (yet labor intensive) way to get by.
With Uncle Ralph and Corrie with full-time jobs, and Fiona in school, it falls on Fiona’s mother Martha to do most of the running of the house. Even though the first boarders are just moving in, she seems pretty effective at it so far.
(I was sworn to keep this secret, but I’ve been made aware that everyone here knows this already: for a month Martha was transformed into a human. She was able to change back, but her experience was invaluable to me when I discovered my own human origins. So, she and I have that bond.)
The mansion itself was divided into two halves when Fiona’s parents divorced. George eventually sold his half to buy Hare-Link, and when he married Danielle they moved into a much smaller tree nearby. Now, the Fennecs will house herbivores on one half and carnivores on the other. Omnivores sleep wherever they want...as usual.
An odd thing about the mansion (aside from it being one of the few local residences not being either a hole in the ground, a cave or a living tree) is that it’s divided into many, many small rooms that make perfect one-person apartments. I’d assumed that a mansion that size would have huge open spaces, and while there’s couple of those the general layout is perfect for its current use.
It’s as if when Fiona came into money she didn’t scale her lifestyle upwards; she just multiplied it. Good thing, too, considering.
