premise: But , as we drove past the large iron gates onto the property , I started to think that maybe I was being too hasty in my no - way conclusions . The house was not simply a house . It was a plantation - styled mansion that could have come straight out of an epic story set during the time when the British were in India discovering the joys of tea . On both sides of the house and evenly spaced every 5 feet there were large 30-foot windows with light - blue painted shutters that opened as doors out onto the surrounding gardens . What 's a possible reason they drove onto the property ?
hypothesis: The house was not a house .
