Thursday December 16th,

Bargrove Hall

The companions are awoken at 8am, and after refreshing themselves make their way back down to the dining room for a breakfast of porridge and kippers. Lady Amanda, Ursula and Josephine are again in attendance. Around the house, the moors stretch into the distance, cold with frost. The sky is a leaden grey.

Lady Amanda still looks pale & tense. After Ursula has left with Josephine to begin her morning studies, Amanda gives the reason for her tension.

“My husband’s spirit was again active last night. Pots and pans were misplaced in the kitchen, and books were removed from the library shelves. Howard will guide you around Bargrove Hall this morning after breakfast, and I hope that you will begin your investigation forthwith. Do you have any questions to ask before you begin?”

Meanwhile, Melody again dines in the kitchen with the servants, who are busy preparing for their daily tasks. She will rejoin the others after her breakfast.

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 2:40 am**

"Pardon me for asking, milady, but how do you know that it was your husband who moved the objects?" asks Alexander. "Is it possible that someone living could have done it?"

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 6:15 am**

Captain FitzWilliam buttered some toast and waited for Lady Allingham to reply.

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 9:48 am**

Lady Amanda shakes her head firmly.

”It’s not possible. There’s no sign of forced entry anywhere. And the servants have all vouched for each other. It can only be William, I’m certain. However, I am no fanatic and I will listen to whatever theories you advance with an open mind.”

She still looks troubled, despite these words, and gazes down at the table.

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:53 am**

”Do you know which books were moved, Lady Allingham?” asked Captain FitzWilliam. ”Just in case there may be some significance in their titles or subject matter.”

Captain FitzWilliam found it hard to believe that items could move by themselves and wondered if more earthly forces were at play.

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 2:52 pm**

“No, I wasn’t informed about that” says Amanda. “Are you ready to tour the house?”

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 3:43 pm**

”I am if my colleagues are,” replied Captain FitzWilliam, as he brushed the toast crumbs from his clothes and stood up.

Posted: **Thu Oct 18, 2018 6:27 pm**

"I expect we are too late today; the servants will have already tidied up. But next time, Lady Allingham, please can nothing be touched until we have examined the area of disturbance. Captain Fitzwiiliam is correct in that there is likely to be some significance to what has occurred. And I suggest we prepare for a vigil tonight! If Lady Allingham concurs, we might consider a seance too in a night or two." Isolde then rises, ready to take the tour.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:01 am**

Melody greats each servant she encounters warmly (even the housekeeper), but mostly just tries to keep out of everyone's way while she eats her breakfast - she understands that this is a very busy time for the staff.

She keeps her ears tuned for any gossip of goings on during the night, but she doesn't mention her and Percy's night time encounter to anyone.

After eating she asks if there is anything she can help with while she waits for the rest of the society to finish eating.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 2:38 am**

"Aye, Your Ladyship, I'm ready," says Alexander. "I'm particularly interested to learn about the history of the house, and anything noteworthy that may have happened here."

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 8:20 am**

OOC: OOC, Once you have explored the house, I will provide a map. We will just visit the larger and more important rooms, but don't expect to find hidden secrets in every corner!

Melody finishes her breakfast and rejoins the group. The first port of call is the chapel, which is directly opposite the dining room on the opposite side of the room where they enter.

It is dark and chill in the winter cold. Howard explain that it is not in use much lately, and no-one has been interred since the late 1700s. Several tombs can be seen within. It basically resembles a scaled-down church, complete with altar, font and pews.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 9:33 am**

"I presume the family has been using the graveyard outside since then?" Percy inquires. "More space, I suppose? Are all the, ah, unfortunate males up to our most recently deceased buried there?"

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 10:36 am**

"That's correct, sir" nods Howard.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:24 am**

”Do you have any theories as the what may have accounted for so many men in the family at such a young age?” asked Captain FitzWilliam, as he looked around the chapel.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 1:47 pm**

"Ooooh! Can't you just feel the atmosphere in here, it is resonating! So much history!" Isolde walks briskly around the chapel, gesticulating at and looking hard at all the features. "Quiet please!" She holds up her hand, listening carefully. "Yes, it is as I thought, there are restless spirits here!" She looks askance at Mr Howard and then continues walking around, running her hand along the pews.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 2:54 pm**

Howard looks bemused at the antics of the society.

“No, sir” he replies to FitzWilliam. “Except that life is sometimes very difficult”.

One interesting tomb may be noted by those looking around – that of Sir Montague Allingham. It bears a carved effigy of his likeness in a suit of armour upon its lid, with his name beneath. There doesn’t seem to be anything else.

Posted: **Fri Oct 19, 2018 4:11 pm**

”Does Lady Allingham employ an estate manager?” asked Captain FitzWilliam. ”Or did Lord Allingham used to deal with all of those issues?”

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 3:35 am**

Alexander examines the tombs with interest, paying special attention to any names and dates inscribed.

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:42 am**

"Your assumptions do you justice again, sir" says Howard to FitzWilliam. "Sir William managed the estate personally".

To everyone he says, "Shall we move on?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 7:12 am**

Captain FitzWilliam nodded and indicated that Howard should lead the way. Falling in alongside the butler as they walked, he asked, ”So what of his Lordship’s relationship with the local people? Lady Allingham suggested that was particularly fraught.”

FitzWilliam studied Howard as he waited for a reply.

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 11:26 am**

Meanwhile, Percy is telling the others about what he and Melody witnessed last night. "...so it seems young Ursula is drawn to the graveyard, which is perhaps an understandable symptom of grief but I daresay you might find a few more restless spirits there, Miss Beauchant."

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 3:29 pm**

“Yes, that might be an apt term” says Howard, leading the way to the next destination. He doesn’t look at FitzWilliam as he talks. “I’m afraid his Lordship found the locals a trifle… backwards”.

Turning left out of the chapel it is a short walk to the next room. Opening the double doors, Howard announces the library. It is a largely unremarkable room, containing in terms of furniture a desk and a few comfy looking chairs, but it is more than well-stocked with volumes. Bookshelves the height of a tall man line all four walls.

“My Lady announces that you are free to peruse the contents of the library as you see fit” Howard tells the group. “We have often found the trappings of nocturnal visitations here.”

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 5:10 pm**

"Thank you," says Alexander, admiring the collection of books. "I can see myself spending a good deal of time here. Some of this collection must be centuries old."

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 6:44 pm**

"Goodness, and I slept through all of it!" Isolde exclaims to Percy. "I am looking forward to seeing the graveyard very much. The young are often much more sensitive to the supernatural and Ursula has had such a shock in her young life. You were very brave, Melody. Oh here we are at the infamous library!" And she sweeps into the room and spins round.

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 10:47 pm**

”Have the contents of the library been moved since last night’s event?” said Captain FitzWilliam, as he held up his hand to caution his colleagues about proceeding too far until they knew whether any items had been moved.

Posted: **Sun Oct 21, 2018 3:09 pm**

“As was stated by Lady Amanda previously” says Howard smoothly, “some books, not too many, had been removed from the shelves, but were returned into place by the staff. Everything else seems to be in order.”

Posted: **Sun Oct 21, 2018 6:36 pm**

Isolde drifts slowly around the room, "Oh tosh, Captain, can you not feel there is a vestige of an aura still here. If we hold a seance I think this is the room for it." She scans the book titles to see if there are any unusual or interesting books not normally found in such a place; she has spent many a long hour in similar libraries in the great houses around the country.

Posted: **Sun Oct 21, 2018 7:52 pm**

Captain FitzWilliam stood and closed his eyes, but didn’t feel any particular aura. He waited a moment then opened his eyes again and looked at Howard.

“Could you please ask the servants to leave the books in place if there are any further events? There may be a clue in the titles of the books that are moved.”

He looked around the room some more, and then said, ”Going back to his lordship’s relationship with the local people, what was it that he was doing that they disagreed with?” FitzWilliam looked Howard straight in the face, to see what the reaction to his question was.

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 1:26 am**

Alexander examines the shelves to see if he can tell which books have been dislodged recently based on the lack of dust or not belonging in the section where they've been reshelved.

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 1:48 am**

The room, unfortunately for the purposes of investigating, is very clean and is dusted regularly.

“Well”, says Howard, addressing FitzWilliam’s question, “he had evicted some older tenants who were slow to pay rent, and they were obliged to move in with relatives. That was not well-received in the village”.

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 5:12 am**

"Lady Amanda hadn't mentioned that," says Alexander. "She mentioned that Lord Allingham had wanted to modernise the village, and the villagers objected. Perfectly, I'm in favour of modernisation. The telephone and electric lights are wondrous inventions, though perhaps rather expensive."

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 7:44 am**

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 8:25 am**

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 2:18 pm**

"This is an established library; I have rarely seen it's like. It will take a few days to do it justice. Is there a catalogue do you know, Mr Howard?" asks Isolde. And a bit later she asks, "Have you ever been troubled by the disturbances here, Mr Howard?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 3:17 pm**

“I’m afraid that this collection is the result of gradual accumulation” Howard tells Isolde. “The books are shelved in no particular fashion. As to your other question, whatever disturbs My Lady, disturbs me also.”

Just then a bell can be heard ringing.

“My Lady requires me” says Howard. The relief is evident on his face. “Please feel free to explore further, I will try to return as soon as I can. As Lady Amanda said, you have the freedom of the house, but I would ask you to please be considerate of those who reside here.”

He bows slightly and leaves.

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2018 5:55 pm**

Captain FitzWilliam sank into a nearby seat and drummed his fingers on the arm as he thought. After a while, he said, ”I get the feeling we aren’t been told the full story. It appears that the butler may be telling the truth, but he doesn’t like to discuss his mistress’ business so the end result is like pulling teeth.”

He grimaced and looked around the room. ”Miss Melody - did you get any information from any of the servants? Were they will to talk to you?”

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 2:54 am**

"Yes, I was hoping they'd tell you things they wouldn't say to us," adds Alexander.

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 1:22 pm**

"None of the servants have actually witnessed anything, although they've all seen the results of the disturbances each morning" says Melody, "They're all much more afraid of Mrs Beddowes the housekeeper than any ghost.

"Some of them believe that 'the ghost' actually one of the other servants playing tricks on them all.

"The coachman McKenzie certainly believes the ghost is real though, as does Gerald Smith the gardener, he was most interested when I mentioned that Miss Beauchant would be able to speak to the ghost. I had hoped to ask who is was who discovered Lord Allingham's body, but missed the opportunity - none of them can speak freely when Mrs. Beddowes is about!"

Melody glances at Percy.

"Mr. Stringer and I were both woken during the night by Miss Ursula walking to her classroom, she was followed by her tutor. She was sleepwalking I think - like my brother used to - her eyes were wide open, but she was not awake. I thought that she might have been the cause of the disturbances, but her tutor assured Mr. Stringer that although she walked every night, Miss Ursula only every moved from her bedroom to the classroom, where she stands looking out over the graveyard.

"I was just relieved that it was her tutor and not Lady Allingham we met, I fear that the Lady would not have been amused to find me and Mr. Stringer creeping around the halls."

OOC: I'm not actually sure that Melody had met Josephine, other than during the night, so I've just called her Miss Ursula's tutor.

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 3:10 pm**

"We'll need to get the information directly from the villagers - if thet are willing to talk to us." Isolde stands looking out one of the long windows at the frosty lawn. "DId Joshephine say how long the sleep walking has been going on? Did it maybe start with the death of Lord Allingham? And I wonder if Josephine has ever heard any of the disturbances whilst she's been up at night following her charge."

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 3:32 pm**

"She said that Miss Ursula had taken to walking in her sleep recently, every night, and always just to stare out of the schoolroom window.

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 3:59 pm**

”Has anyone questioned the child to ask her what it is she sees in the graveyard?” asked Captain FitzWilliam. ”One would presume she is looking at something, even if it is something that others cannot see.”

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 4:16 pm**

"I didn't think to wake Miss Ursula, we were always told not to wake my brother when he sleep walked.

"Perhaps Mme. Josephine has asked Miss Ursula what she sees."

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2018 4:53 pm**

”Quite right,” replied Captain FitzWilliam. ”Better to make sure they don’t harm themselves and wake up of their own accord.”

“Would you be able to talk to Miss Ursula’s tutor, to see if she has spoken about her sleepwalking?” he asked Melody.

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2018 2:41 am**

"Indeed," says Alexander with a nod. "I've heard the same. Never known a somnambulist myself before, though. Josephine and Ursula may be open to talking to me as well. They quite liked my little scientific demonstration at supper last night. Perhaps we should both go."

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2018 9:24 am**

"Jolly good," Percy says. "As for the rest of us, since we have the freedom of the premises I presume that would include Lord Bargrove's personal study if he has such a thing?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2018 3:57 pm**

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2018 10:47 pm**

Alexander wrote:"They quite liked my little scientific demonstration at supper last night. Perhaps we should both go."

"Of course doctor, whatever you think is best."

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2018 11:28 pm**

”Very well,” said Captain FitzWilliam, rising from his chair. ”Let us continue our tour of the house and when we see Miss Ursula and her tutor, the rest of us can carry on while Miss Melody and Dr. Campbell talk to them.”

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2018 2:09 am**

"Aye, capital idea," says Alexander. "We can catch you up after we're done talking to them."

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2018 7:27 am**

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2018 7:18 pm**

"We'll finish the tour with Mr Howard and then maybe go our seperate ways after lunch." Says Isolde.

Posted: **Fri Oct 26, 2018 12:04 pm**

"We will be guided by you, Miss Beauchant," said Captain FitzWilliam, bowing his head.

He looked around the library, chose a promising looking section and went off to the study the contents, looking for anything that would give a hint to the Allingham family history and the curse that seemingly afflicted them.

Posted: **Fri Oct 26, 2018 8:45 pm**

Isolde watches the frost on the he lawn outside. "If Mr Howard doesn't come back soon we might as well seperate now and compare notes at lunch. I would like to visit the graveyard at least this morning."

Posted: **Sat Oct 27, 2018 3:46 pm**

Howard has not returned and so Melody leads them in the direction of the kitchens, which are at the back of the house. As can be imagined, they are a hotbed of activity, although with a staff far outnumbering the family it might seem that their main job is feeding themselves. The kitchen and the adjacent scullery are very large rooms, and have doors leading to the gardens in the back, where vegetable plots can be seen. There is a door leading down to the cellars. The staff look at the guests curiously. Mrs. Beddowes seems a little perturbed at their presence, and enquires if she can be of any help.

Posted: **Sun Oct 28, 2018 2:32 am**

"Thank you, Mrs. Beddowes," says Alexander. "We are touring the house, but if you don't mind, we would like to ask you a few questions, seeing as how you know about everything that goes on here."

Posted: **Sun Oct 28, 2018 3:34 pm**

"Well, I'll do my best, sir" says Mrs. Beddowes, her eyes shifting from one companion to the other. Staff in the vicinity try their best to go about their business, looking as uninterested as they can.

Posted: **Sun Oct 28, 2018 6:26 pm**

”Perhaps we could start by you telling us what the circumstances were leading up to Lord Allingham’s death?” asked Captain FitzWilliam. ”I understand that there had been a disagreement between his lordship and some of the local villagers.”

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 12:58 am**

Could someone have entered through the kitchen last night?

"Is this the first time the kitchen has been disturbed?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:36 am**

Mrs. Beddowes looks affronted at being so directly addressed by Melody. She answers Captain FitzWilliam.

“Some of the locals around here are stuck in their ways. His Lordship was trying to make the estate more efficient and run better. Naturally there are those who resist such moves” she says primly. “I’m sure that my Lady would be able to give you more details. I’m afraid I don’t know too much about it.”

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:55 am**

Captain FitzWilliam looked from Mrs Beddowes to Melody. ”And any disturbances in the kitchen?” he prompted. ”I understand that you think that Miss Melody is a servant and therefore beneath you in the normal order of things, but she is with us.”

FitzWilliam’s voice softened as he continued. ”After all, are we not all interested in the same outcome; finding out what happened to Lord Allingham and bringing peace back to Bargrove Hall?”

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 12:21 pm**

"For instance," says Isolde "This is a very well run establishment, and I should know having resided at many similar. As housekeeper, you know most of what goes on above and below stairs; you are the authority on Bargorve Hall! And, as a woman, are much more perceptive than the men about the place. Now, who was it who found Lord Allingham's body? Was it servants from here or villagers?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 1:49 pm**

With the housekeeper evidently distracted, Percy opens the cellar door and takes a peek inside.

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:55 pm**

Mrs. Beddowes’ back stiffens. “My Lady is the authority here, Madam” she says in reply to Isolde’s statement. “And I don’t concern myself in the business of my employers. In answer to your question, it was a party from Bargrove House who found His Lordship. He was overdue from his evening constitutional”. Her eyes drop momentarily and she looks pained. “I must say that was a very trying time for all of us.”

She turns back to FitzWilliam. “Yes, we have had a nocturnal visitor. Items moved from their place, some broken. No foodstuffs appear to have gone missing though. It has occurred several times since Sir William died. As to the cause, I only know that I is none of the staff. I am certain of that.” Her tone indicates that there will be no contradicting her.

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:23 pm**

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:31 pm**

Posted: **Mon Oct 29, 2018 11:44 pm**

”How do you know, Mrs Beddowes?” replied Captain FitzWilliam with quiet authority, looking the housekeeper straight in the eye. ”How can you be so absolutely sure that no members of your staff have come down here in the middle of the night and rearranged things in your kitchen? Do you stand guard and make sure they cannot leave their rooms or do you sit down here yourself, waiting for someone - or something - to get up to mischief?”

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2018 3:21 am**

“Yes as a matter of fact” says Mrs. Beddowes sternly. “The servants, myself included, have often taken shifts to try to find out what causes the events. We’ve stood guard in and outside the kitchen and other rooms to make sure no-one could enter, yet the incidents occur. I hope you”ll be able to have better luck. Now, if you’ll please excuse me, I have duties to attend to.”

She bows stiffly and walks away to supervise the cooking of the midday meal.

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2018 4:57 am**

"Thank you for your time, Mrs. Beddowes," says Alexander. "We'll leave you to your work."

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:55 pm**

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2018 4:42 pm**

[

Melody barely manages to suppress a smile when Captain FitzWilliam rebukes Mrs. Beddowes, it wouldn't do to be seen smirking by the stern housekeeper.

Melody decided to remain quiet until the society finished in the kitchen. It's interesting she thought, that servants have stood watch and yet still not noticed the disturbances taking place, but even did not prevent some of the servants suspecting that others were playing a prank. The kitchen still seemed to Melody to be a likely place for an intruder to enter the house, largely ignored by the family and yet with access from the garden and perhaps from the cellar. She wondered whether Percy had found anything interesting.

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2018 5:30 pm**

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2018 10:24 pm**

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 3:36 am**

"Shall we have a look down the cellar?" Alexander asks the others.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 8:54 am**

”We could just lock the door and leave Mr Stringer down there...” said Captain FitzWilliam, drily, as he headed for the cellar steps.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 9:48 am**

The cellar is large and extends under the scullery next door. As well as assorted foodstuffs, there is a large wine rack and barrels of water, beer and oil. Firewood is also stored here. It is clean and well-lit, but there are signs of the ubiquitous mouse. The kitchen door looks to be the only entrance.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 2:31 pm**

Captain FitzWilliam walked around the cellar and inspected the walls. From time to time, he would push at the stonework with his walking stick to see if any would move.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 3:49 pm**

The cellar is solidly built from stone blocks. There doesn't seem to be any hidden entrances.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 5:20 pm**

Percy rejoins the others with a shrug. "No ghosts hiding down here that I can see."

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 5:22 pm**

Everything appears to be normal, but Melody walks around the cellar anyway, looking for anything out of the ordinary, "Did you notice anything unusual Mr. Stringer?"

OOC: Rooter posted while I was writing my own post.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2018 7:43 pm**

Isolde says to Melody, "Don't you think it rather odd that servants would stand watches through the night of their own accord: servants who are generally exhausted from the days work and have precious free time as it is?" She declines going down to the cellar - something about mice- and waits in the kitchen.

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2018 2:41 am**

"Perhaps Lady Amanda ordered them to set a watch," suggests Alexander. "You're right, I can't imagine they'd want to do it on their own." He heads down into the cellar to look around, also suspecting a secret passage that would allow someone into or out of the house.

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2018 5:45 am**

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2018 4:30 pm**

"Yes, I expect the servants will have to do whatever Lady Allingham or Mrs. Beddowes ask of them. It's interesting that the disturbances still occurred unnoticed when a watch was posted."

Melody finishes looking around the cellar, but does not notice anything unusual, she makes her way back up to Isolde, "That's not so surprising though, after all keeping watch is not going to stop a ghost."

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2018 7:13 pm**

"Quite." Says Isolde. "And they strike me as unusually unsuperstitious - for servants. Normally they'd be the first ones to attribute unusual activities to supernatural entities. Especially the maids."

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2018 8:10 pm**

"A conspiracy among the staff, eh?" Percy says, nodding. "I like it. Well, shall we move on since old Howard seems to have fallen down a hole somewhere?"

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2018 9:30 pm**

”Where next?” asked Captain FitzWilliam. ”Do you think there is anything else to see downstairs or do we take a look outside?” He glanced out of the kitchen window to see if a coat would be in order.

Posted: **Sat Nov 03, 2018 2:37 pm**

The rest of the rooms on the ground floor in the East Wing appear to be unused, mostly filled with covered furniture, with the exception of a trophy room. This contains various sporting and hunting memorabilia and trophies. The only other room is the Parlour, the scene of last night’s meeting with Lady Amanda. The First Floor has yet to be explored.

Posted: **Sat Nov 03, 2018 4:09 pm**

”Shall we take another turn around the parlour? We didn’t get much chance to look at it yesterday.” said Captain FitzWilliam.

Posted: **Sat Nov 03, 2018 7:31 pm**

"I don't suppose the parlour will offer much; it seemed more in the modern taste than most of the building but let's pass through before going upstairs." Says Isolde walking quickly along the corridor.

Posted: **Sun Nov 04, 2018 3:45 pm**

The Parlour seems much the same as it was yesterday. Empty right now and with the fire unlit, it feels cold and forbidding. The portrait of Sir William glowers at the companions from its position above the fireplace.

Posted: **Sun Nov 04, 2018 10:11 pm**

Captain FitzWilliam studied the painting. Whoever had painted the portrait had certainly captured Lord Allingham’s brooding intensity.

FitzWilliam remembered something he had once read about secret signs in portraits - discrete indicators towards religious persuasions - and stepped forward to look at the painting in more detail.

Posted: **Tue Nov 06, 2018 5:06 am**

"Shall we proceed upstairs?" asks Alexander.

Posted: **Tue Nov 06, 2018 1:57 pm**

Percy nods. "Yes, that painting gives me the willies."

Posted: **Tue Nov 06, 2018 2:55 pm**

Melody follows the others looking around the parlour, again she looks around for anything that looks out of the ordinary, although it seems unlikely as they were all here the previous evening.

Posted: **Tue Nov 06, 2018 3:03 pm**

The companions head upstairs. Next to their rooms is another room, which appears to be the bedroom of a woman, judging by the clothes and assorted items. Next to that is the schoolroom. The voice of Josephine Ducray can be heard. She appears to be lecturing to another occupant.

Posted: **Wed Nov 07, 2018 4:36 am**

"She must be teaching her young student," says Alexander. "We do need to talk to them, but I don't know if we should interrupt the lesson."

Posted: **Wed Nov 07, 2018 3:20 pm**

”Perhaps just put your head around the door and ask if they are all right to talk? If not, we can always come back later,” suggested Captain FitzWilliam.

Posted: **Wed Nov 07, 2018 7:59 pm**

"Let me go in, wait here." Isolde walks to the door, knocks gently and walks into the classroom. "Please continue, Mme Ducray." And she goes to sit in a window seat until the governess has finished.

Posted: **Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:54 am**

Posted: **Thu Nov 08, 2018 10:18 am**

Meanwhile, Percy scouts around to see if there are any other rooms which may be of interest on this floor.

Captain FitzWilliam followed Percy down the corridor. ”Do you think there may be an attic?”

He looked across at Melody. ”Where are the servants’ quarters?” he asked.

Posted: **Thu Nov 08, 2018 12:06 pm**

"Well, if it's not too much trouble, we'd like to talk to you when you have finished your lessons, maybe when Ursula is having her lunch?" Isolde smiles at Ursula and then looks back at Josephine. "And, as one governess to another, I'd love to look round the grounds with a like-minded creature and wondered if you'd do me the honour when you are at liberty."

Posted: **Thu Nov 08, 2018 2:40 pm**

"Yes Captain, the servants' quarters are up in the attic, up those stairs."

Melody indicates some stairs that lead up from the corridor.

Posted: **Thu Nov 08, 2018 5:25 pm**

”Might we take a quick look, while the servants are otherwise engaged?” asked Captain FitzWilliam. He had hoped to find that the attic was unused and available for someone to hide in, but that sounded unlikely. Nevertheless, it would be good to rule out the possibility.

Posted: **Fri Nov 09, 2018 1:22 am**

"I don't think anyone will mind."

Melody will lead the way up the stairs.

OOC: I think there might be more than just the servants room, but I'm not sure.

Posted: **Fri Nov 09, 2018 4:23 am**

"Right," says Alexander, following her up to the attic.

Isolde looks out upon the frozen moor, "It is about recent events, if you take my meaning. Maybe after lunch, when it is convenient." She rises and looks at Ursula's workbook. "What pretty writing, and good use of language too, Ursula. Your teaching does you credit!" She smiles at both tutor and student and then walks quietly out.

Hearing the buzz of conversation, Howard climbs the stairs to the attic and finds the companions.

"My apologies for my prolonged absence" he bows. "Luncheon will be served from midday, so perhaps you would like to take some time to refresh yourselves beforehand. I trust your investigations are proceeding smoothly" he adds neutrally.

Posted: **Mon Nov 12, 2018 10:03 am**

"Yes, indeed," Percy replies, having followed the butler. "By the way, there's a room that looks like a study at the end of the corridor which has been recently covered in sheets. Would that be the late Lordship's?"

Posted: **Mon Nov 12, 2018 3:06 pm**

“That’s correct, sir” acknowledges Howard. “It is no longer needed, sadly. His Lordship’s personal effects were removed to the care of Her Ladyship.”

Posted: **Mon Nov 12, 2018 3:49 pm**

”May we take a look anyway?” asked Captain FitzWilliam.

Posted: **Mon Nov 12, 2018 5:17 pm**

"The rest of the floor is just bedrooms and bathrooms," Percy adds for the others' benefit, before he heads off to get ready for lunch.

Posted: **Mon Nov 12, 2018 6:32 pm**

"Aye, it wouldn't hurt to have a look round," says Alexander.

Posted: **Mon Nov 12, 2018 8:03 pm**

Isolde meets the others at the foot of the attic stairs, "Josephine didn't take any hints about having a quiet talk, maybe her English isn't good enough. She certainly isn't going to open up with Ursula around so we'll have to try her after lunch. Did you find anything interesting in the attic?"

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2018 11:07 pm**

”Not much as yet,” replied Captain FitzWilliam, as he headed down the stairs and off towards his room to freshen up before lunch.

Posted: **Wed Nov 14, 2018 3:33 am**

"We were just about to examine His Lordship's old study," says Alexander, knowing that she'd probably be interested in that. No doubt she thought that his spirit was tied to the place.

Posted: **Wed Nov 14, 2018 4:58 am**

Howard leads the way back to what was once Sir William’s study. It is dominated by a large desk, and hunting trophies line the wall. The furniture is mostly covered.

“The desk had been covered, but one morning we found the sheet ripped into pieces” Howard tells the group. “That is the only disturbance which has been observed in this room.”

Posted: **Wed Nov 14, 2018 3:30 pm**

"An excellent suggestion!" Isolde says to Alexander as they are ushered to the study. "I assume His Lordship was typical of land owners where hunting and fishing are concerned?" She asks Howard as she looks at the hunting trophies. "And his desk, has it been touched since his death? Papers and such sorted? Oddments thrown away? And where is the sheet? Maybe we can deduce what made the tears!" She says as an aside to the others.

Posted: **Thu Nov 15, 2018 3:10 am**

"Aye, capital idea," says Alexander. He examines the hunting trophies with admiration. "I've done a wee bit of hunting myself, but clearly not as much as His Lordship."

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 2:22 am**

“The personal items deemed worth keeping were put away after his death, and all papers are in the hands of Lady Amanda” says Howard. “There seemed no reason to keep the sheet; it was torn, we don’t know by whom”.

He checks his watch.

“Lunch should be served soon. Can we expect you in the dining room?”

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 3:21 am**

"Oh, aye," says Alexander. "I am starting to get peckish."

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:50 am**

Captain FitzWilliam nodded. He was already on his way downstairs.

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 2:26 pm**

After washing the companions return to the dining room for a lunch of game bird and vegetables. Melody meanwhile takes her lunch again in the kitchen with the other servants.

Lady Amanda, Ursula and Josephine are already waiting along with Percy who arrived early. The atmosphere seems to be one of quiet expectation.

“I presume that you have familiarized yourselves with the house?” enquires Lady Amanda once everybody is seated. “May I ask what impressions you have gathered?”

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:35 pm**

"I'll let the others speak to their impressions of the supernatural," says Alexander, "seeing as they know more than I about that. We've looked at the scenes of the disturbances, but of course they had all been cleaned. It might be of aid if the next time something like that happens, the scene remain undisturbed until we've had a chance to examine it."

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:58 pm**

"Lady Allingham," says Isolde,
"I am of the same mind as Doctor Campbell. With all the evidence cleared up after each disturbance there is very little for us to analyse.
I would like to venture a suggestion that we hold watches tonight and maybe see something first hand. And Lady Allingham it is also possible for us to..." Isolde looks at young Ursula and changes her mind about what she was about to say.
"We would also like to look at where, ur, on the moor, speak to the men involved, visit the village and the graveyard." Again looking at Ursula. "There is still much to be done."

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2018 9:37 pm**

"Did your late husband have any interest in the supernatural?" Percy asks between mouthfuls.

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2018 12:38 am**

Captain FitzWilliam said little as he turned over what they had found out in his mind. Something was going on, but he was at a loss to explain the cause. He would sit watch tonight and see what they could learn.

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2018 5:21 am**

“Yes” says Lady Amanda to Isolde and Alexander. “All of those are good suggestions. After lunch you might like to tour the grounds before you prepare for this evening. Tell me” she continues. “Will you attempt a séance?”

She turns to Percy. “William had no interest in spiritual matters. To be honest, I myself was not particularly concerned until after his death.”

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2018 6:23 am**

"Thank you, Your Ladyship," says Alexander. "I would like to see the grounds this afternoon before I stand a watch tonight. Have the disturbances been limited to the house, or have there been any outside?"

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2018 7:46 am**

”I don’t believe anything has happened outside” replies Amanda. ”William would undoubtedly concentrate his energies inside the house anyway.”

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2018 9:05 am**

”I too would like to see the grounds,” said Captain FitzWilliam. ”I feel the need of some fresh air.”

The air of paranoia and suspicion in the house was giving him a headache and a walk outside would do him good, even if was to look at the place where his Lordship died.

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2018 8:34 pm**

"I have brought with me the necessary items for a seance. I want to be sure your Ladyship is ready and prepared for one, it can be an emotional ordeal for loved ones of the departed. I had thought tomorrow night would be suitable after we spent tonight on a general watch but if your Ladyship would prefer tonight then I can prepare this afternoon." Says Isolde.

Posted: **Sun Nov 18, 2018 2:52 pm**

“No Miss Beauchant, you should proceed according to your plans. Howard will show you the grounds after lunch is finished.”

Posted: **Sun Nov 18, 2018 7:51 pm**

Thank you Lady Amanda. We do have to discuss amongst ourselves who is going where this afternoon. Unless places are close by I doubt we can cover all the ground together before the light goes." Isolde replies.

Posted: **Sun Nov 18, 2018 8:29 pm**

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2018 12:34 am**

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2018 2:18 am**

“The site of His Lordship’s… demise…” states Howard delicately, “is nearer to the village. Unfortunately the carriage is indisposed this afternoon, I do apologise. It will be easier to visit Bargrove village tomorrow as it is a couple of miles walk. There should be many people there you can question” he adds, with a sidelong glance at the grim-looking Lady Amanda, who frowns every time the village is mentioned.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:49 pm**

"A stroll around the grounds sounds fine," Percy says, finishing his lunch.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2018 5:56 pm**

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2018 8:37 am**

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2018 7:37 pm**

"Thank you for lunch, Lady Amanda." Isolde then turns to the others. "Shall we visit the graveyard first? We may need the best daylight to read the inscriptions. I'd like to find the graves from the 1600s."

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2018 2:25 am**

"Aye, thank you, Your Ladyship," says Alexander. "The food was delicious. I agree, the graveyard is an excellent first stop."

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2018 2:32 pm**

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2018 3:02 pm**

After lunch is finished, the investigators their winter garments and assemble with Howard outside the kitchen at the rear of the house. To their surprise, Ursula and Josephine are in attendance, Josephine stating that Ursula wanted to get some fresh air after being inside all morning.

The gardens are quite an expanse of lawns and flower beds and look to be carefully tended, although now there is little growing and the soil is hardened by frost. A light covering of snow lays over the ground. Dotted around are carefully pruned hedges and trees.

To the left is a large building which Howard, shivering in his coat, announces to be the stables. Over on the right is a smaller cottage which is the abode of Smith, the gardener. In the distance an ornamental lake, to which is next the cemetery, can be seen.

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2018 5:03 pm**

"Good afternoon," says Alexander to Josephine and Ursula. "Are your lessons going well?"

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2018 7:35 pm**

"I am glad you are come." Says Isolde to Ursula and Josephine, " You can help us investigate the graveyard and use your powers of deducement!" She watches to see Ursula's reaction.

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2018 8:05 pm**

Captain FitzWilliam noted the light snow, thinking that it might prove useful later in proving, or disproving, the origins of any disturbances.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 3:52 am**

“Yes thank you” says Ursula to Alexander. She doesn’t seem to understand Isolde’s statement.

“Ursula wants to visit Mr. Smith at his cottage” says Josephine. “She often plays with him. She doesn’t like to go to the graveyard.”

“Would you care to visit the stables?” asks Howard.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 4:05 am**

"You're welcome," says Alexander to Ursula. "If ye want to learn a bit more science, just ask." He nods to Howard. "Aye, I'd like to see the stables after we're done in the graveyard."

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 4:30 am**

“Very well” replies Howard, and continues on to the cemetery. Before the companions reach there, Ursula and Josephine split off in the direction of the cottage.

The cemetery like the gardens is well-kept, but is obviously very old. It is ringed by a wrought-iron fence, and two large cypress trees guard each side of the creaking gate, casting their shadows over the huddled graves. Many of the crosses and headstones marking the graves are badly weathered.

“Most Allinghams from the last two centuries have been interred here” announces Howard. "Most recently, of course, was Sir William.”

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 5:04 am**

"We should see his grave first, then," says Alexander. "The Allinghams from further back are in the crypt, I presume."

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 5:47 am**

“That is correct, sir” says Howard. He leads the way to Sir William’s grave.

It is of course the most recent. The gave itself is made of marble, and inscribed on the stone above it are the dates of William’s life, with the simple inscription ‘Here lies a loving husband and father. May he rest in peace’.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 10:59 am**

Unsure of what to look for, Percy wanders around the graveyard trying to spot any signs of recent disturbance.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 3:10 pm**

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 5:51 pm**

"Well, it all seems peaceful enough," Percy remarks to the others, lighting his pipe. He glances across at the ornamental lake to see whether the surface is frozen over.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2018 6:13 pm**

Captain FitzWilliam wandered through the graveyard, looking for the gravestones of any other members of the Allingham family. Something occurred to him and he looked over to Howard. ”Is there a family history in the library?” he asked.

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2018 3:27 am**

"I believe that there is" muses Howard. "Although unfortunately the collection is not cataloged".

He looks around. "If you've seen enough, we can head to the stables, or is there anything else you would care to see?"

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2018 4:55 am**

"I'm ready to see the stables," says Alexander.

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2018 5:20 am**

The party makes its way to the stables, a large building in good condition. The Allingham carriage is stored here but it is absent right now as are two of the six horses. There are oat bins for the horses feed and a hay loft. Of interest is a sleigh adorned with small silver bells.

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2018 3:40 pm**

Melody keeps quiet during the tour, unless she's asked something.

She glances around the stables as she walks over to take a look at the sleigh.

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2018 1:02 am**

Captain FitzWilliam looked around the stables and inspected the sleigh with silver bells. ”What was this used for?” he asked Howard.

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2018 3:05 am**

“Two years ago we had a very severe winter” says Howard. “McKenzie put this together with the help of the village blacksmith out of the parts of old carriages, and we used it to bring in supplies from Princetown. We keep it in the expectation that may might need it again.”

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2018 4:32 am**

Ah, thinks Alexander, so not an early visit from Father Christmas, then.

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:06 am**

"Shall we call at the cottage on the way back?" Percy suggests. "I don't believe we've met this Smith fellow yet."

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2018 7:20 pm**

Isolde, disappointed in the graveyard and feeling chilled and damp, just huddles in her thick scarf and stamps her feet to keep warm. She rather fancies the idea of spending more time in the warmer library looking through the family history.
"I think I might walk back to the house and start on those records; maybe get them into some semblance of order."

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2018 9:54 pm**

"Aye, I'd like to stop at the cottage," says Alexander.

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:47 am**

”...on the other hand,” said Captain FitzWilliam, ”If it’s on the way back, we may as well pop in and see what he’s got to say. He may even have a fire going...” He rubbed his hands together briskly. He’d never previously been bothered by the cold but his time abroad had changed that, and even his gloves weren’t keeping him warm.

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:00 pm**

'I suppose we'll be out of the cold sooner if we stop at the cottage. Let's walk!' Isolde turns away out of the stables hoping Howard will lead the way.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 1:03 am**

Melody smiles and greets the gardener when the society arrive at his house.

"Hello Mr. Smith."

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 2:54 am**

Smith’s cottage is a simple one-room affair, although it’s whitewashed walls are clean and there is a comforting rich, earthy smell to it. Smith himself is fussing with a seed tray in the company of Ursula as the investigators approach, while Josephine looks on fondly behind them. Smith cheerfully returns Melody’s greeting.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 3:17 am**

"Good day, Mr. Smith," says Alexander. "My apologies if we're interrupting."

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 9:46 am**

”Not at all, sir” replies Smith. ”Miss Ursula an’ me was just preparing the bulbs for spring, weren’t we, Miss?”

Ursula nods, smiling.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 1:56 pm**

Percy clears his throat. "Do you or Howard, in your years of working here, recall any previous episodes of unusual activity at Bargrove?" he inquires. "Perhaps around the time of the other male relatives' untimely passing?"

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 3:39 pm**

Smith shifts uncomfortably and Howard looks taken aback at the question.

“I hardly think that this is a suitable topic to talk about in front of the young miss, sir” he says firmly. “And the answer is no. Never.”

He pauses. “Perhaps it would be better to return to the house now.”

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2018 6:13 pm**

Alexander rolls his eyes at Percy's thoughtless question. "If you think it best," he says to Howard before turning to Smith and Ursula. "I'm sure we'll see you around later during our stay."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2018 8:03 am**

”Have you considered applying for a posting with the diplomatic corps?” asked Captain FitzWilliam, drily. ”I hear they are crying out for men with your talents...”

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2018 9:58 am**

"Bah!" says Percy.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2018 3:31 pm**

The companions are led back to the house, feeling somewhat shamefaced at their latest indiscretion.

“We have some time before the evening meal” announces Howard. “I believe that it is your intention to peruse the library? If this is the case, I will have one of the servants bring you some tea, and have a fire lit for you.”

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2018 7:38 pm**

"Really it is too much." Isolde mutters to Alexander on the way back. "Whenever one wishes to speak frankly with someone, young Ursula is around." Once they get to the library, Isolde immediately starts scanning the books for titles on local superstitions and anything on the occult; with her rudimentary knowledge on this subject she feels this is a better use of her time, leaving the family history to the others. At least for this afternoon.

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2018 12:28 am**

"It's nae the wee lassie's fault," replies Alexander to Isolde. "She's rather charming, and I would have liked to show her another scientific demonstration. She seemed so pleased with the last one."

"Thank you, Howard," Alexander says once they return to the house. "Some tea and a nice warm fire would be lovely." He researches the family's history, focusing particularly on the mid-17th century.

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:53 am**

”I understand that there was a book upstairs in one of the bedrooms,” said Captain FitzWilliam to Howard. ”If I heard correctly, it may have come from his Lordship’s room? I would be interested to read that, if it would not be an impertinent request.”

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2018 3:57 pm**

The search has taken several tiring hours but the investigators have turned up two items of interest. One is a slim, privately-printed leather-bound book entitled A History of Bargrove Parish, dating from 1750, and written by a Thomas Worthington. It seems to detail facts and legends about the area.

The other is a thick, gilt-embossed book written by the late Charles Allingham while he was a student at Cambridge, and printed solely for the Allingham family. It is named The Allinghams of Bargrove Hall.

Unfortunately the hour is growing late, and Howard drops by to enquire after their searches and to inform that dinner will be served in around twenty minutes. The books will have to wait to be perused.

Confronted by Captain Fitzwilliam’s question, Howard is confused. “I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific sir” he asks. “What book and whose room are you referring to?”

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2018 5:13 pm**

Percy, who spent the hours the others were searching the library taking a nap in preparation for the night's vigil, is already on his way to get ready for dinner.
