Resurrection City 1: The Adventure of the Sealed Room

[Andrew D. Gable]

"Here, let me show you," Arthur says, walking over and demonstrating to Trevor how to do it. He looks at Dr. Hewitt. "We can store the body in my cellar if you'd like. Or I can put it in my icebox, if that would suit better."

I'll just assume the camera operation is automatically successful now that Arthur showed you how to do it. Suggestion on my part: if Aiolos is staying here, I'd suggest that Pastor Miller do the same. After all, you're both looking at the document to translate it. Just MHO: it's not vital to the plot that you do this.

Trevor arranges the creature on the desk top and takes its picture. He swaps out the plate and takes another to be sure. "Well, that's done. How many of us are for the Arms, then? I've a coach and driver that can take four."

Andrew nods his head "Of course I would very much like to spend the night here. I don't require much, even a sitting chair will be sufficient for me thank you. This would allow us to examine the document in more detail also"

 

[Jarval]

"I think the icebox would be best, if you do not mind us using it. The colder, the better." Richard replies to Arthur.

"I'm for the Arms, as is DEDI, so that makes three. I think the other gentlemen are still discussing the matter."

"I'm for the Arms, as is DEDI, so that makes three. I think the other gentlemen are still discussing the matter."

"Of course, doctor." Arthur takes the 'package' and walks out toward the kitchen. When he returns, "I believe the inspector said he was staying at the Arms as well, so that alters that number to four."

DEDI looks at the four, picking up Thomas' diary from the table where it lies. "So that you can examine it in more detail, Mr. Diggory. Shall we go out to your carriage, Baron Walsingham? We can return for the other books and Dr. Hewitt's... parcel... tomorrow morning. Mr. Shaw, Pastor Miller, I bid you goodnight." He bows and turns into the foyer, glancing upward towards the study door.

Arthur returns from the kitchen and bids Aiolos and Pastor Miller goodnight. "I am off to bed now, gentlemen. Is there anything you'll need in here, then? I shall have Rachel bring it in for you."

"That is quit already Arthur...mayhaphs some extra candles... I am not sleepy yet and would prefer to continue to study this note..."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Diggory nods at Yeats. He bids Shaw, Miller, and Pellgraine good night, in a friendly manner (slightly familiar, almost as if he's known them his whole life, but not inappropriately so). He then heads out to the carriage with the others and off to the King's Arms.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

The carriage begins clattering along the roads of Loughton towards the King's Arms. Along the way, Yeats speaks to the assembled group. "I also wish to telegram the chiefs of the Order tomorrow morning, as well, so I'll mostlike not be accompanying you to Mr. Pellgraine's. I personally am prepared to extend Arthur an invitation, though... well, I shall have to seek their advice on a matter. It seems we would not be the first occult order to gain his membership. Did you see that ring of his? A Dionysian, no less! I can also send telegrams for any of you, should you have need of any sent?"

He pauses, and looks out the window of Trevor's carriage at the streets, given an amber glow by the gaslight. After a few moments, the carriage pulls alongside a curb. "Ahh, here are the Arms. Just a moment." He checks in with the night manager and heads up towards his rooms. "So, what are your opinions on Arthur's... situation?" he asks as he unlocks the door to the suite.

Meanwhile, at Pellgraine Manor, Rachel brings a few pillows and candles down from upstairs. She casts an eye at the books and papers on the table. "I must be going to bed, now, as well. Good night, sirs," she says, giving Pastor Miller and Aiolos Shaw a brief curtsey before leaving.

 

[JimAde]

Trevor shakes his head. "You know I've never taken any of this spiritualist business very seriously." He makes a sweeping "after you" gesture into the room. "A few of my acquaintances do, but they don't generally include me in their discussions," he adds with a laugh as they enter.

He tosses his hat onto a side table and shrugs out of his coat. "Now, though, I'm starting to reconsider."

Not even looking up at the retreating girl, Pastor Miller replys "Thank you Rachel, good night and God Bless."
