Yes, I understood you all right, Barbara! ;-) Written by Line (10/3/2005 5:32 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I guess you didn't understand what I meant, penned by Barbara

That still leaves the question why a house that is visible from a quarter mile away should be invisible from half a mile away (unless there are trees or something cutting off the view, which the novel doesn't tell us). And I agree - I would expect "as the crow flies" to be the shorter distance, not the longer one.
