I have no excuse other than the fact that I allowed myself to become distracted this week. Vivienne does remember something of the history of this place. I was rather infamous perhaps 20 years ago when it was known as place were young ladies with nervous disorders and exhaustion could come for 'treatment.' As spa of sorts. As it happens the treatment of choice was most often administered to young wives of older men in the proprietor's bedchamber. He was a half-elven Italian Count with 'healing hands'. Unfortunately, the nature of his cures was eventually brought to light and he was killed in dual by a jealous husband who was better at wielding a sword than his manhood. You had heard the place was now in the possession of the Count's niece. A young dark half-elven woman in an elegant gown greets you at the door with a couple of stout lads who move to take your mounts. Beyond her through the door you see a not a rough country tavern, but a convivial salon of well upholstered chairs around tables adorned with silver and linen and crystal. Well dressed folk, no doubt fellow travelers and local gentry dine and make conversation within. A trio of musicians place unobtrusive music from a low stage in one corner. Several carriages are drawn up at the side of the house. The food smells even better up close. "Gentlemen and Ladies, welcome to the house of rest. Perhaps you would like to be shown to rooms where you can freshen up before joining us for dinner?" She looks rather meaningfully at you clothes stained with travel dust and spider ichor, but her smile is most welcoming. She nods to a brace of crsiply attired servants just inside, "Javier and Maessela wlll be happy to assist you. Will you be staying with us for the night?" OOC: Who is carrying the letter?</blockquote>
