You lift off above Manhattan, glass and steel shrinking beneath the rotor wash, and the city’s grid unfolds into river and ridge. The helicopter arcs north along the Hudson Valley; the river slips past like a silver shirt cuff as the green of the valley deepens and Glenmere’s stone façade comes into focus on the lake.
