- popular
- reality
- show
- about

- lavish

- houses.
- Andie
- has
- high
- hopes
- for

- the
- once
- glorious
- but
- gently
- crumbling
- Sprague
- Hall
- in
- Newport,
- Rhode
- Island,
- summer
- resort
- of
- America’s
- gilded
- class—famous
- for
- the

- and
- Belmonts.
- But

- runs
- into
- trouble:
- the
- reclusive
- heiress
- who
- still
- lives
- in
- the
- mansion,
- Lucia
- “Lucky”
- Sprague,
- will
- only
- allow
- the
- show
- to
- go
- forward
- on
- two
- conditions:
- One,
- nobody
- speaks
- to
- her.
- Two,
- nobody
- touches
- the
- mansion’s
- ruined
- boathouse.1899:
