They weren't lost, they were disowned. It's a long story, but it's mainly
to do with betrayals and feuds, contentious wills and allegations of incest.
They ended up with the family seat (which they later sold for redevelopment)
but we kept the title. Having them turn up in the popular press with a
stunt like this, after all these years, is going to piss a lot of people
off.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
