"It was definitely a scream," she says. "But I'm not sure from where. It was somewhere nearby, in the woods, but not too close, judging by its volume."
She nervously makes a few steps in the snow, then returns to the group.

"Well maybe we should get back inside before we freeze. Poor Miss Stanton is shivering."

Wearily, the other investigators join Balzac to circle around the house, but see nothing untoward. Anxious and cold, they return to the warmth of the back room to dry out their feet.
