It s never pleasant, sitting in a haunted house, waiting in the dark

The night presses in around you and the silence beats against your ears, and soon, if youre not careful, you start to see or hear things that are the products of your mind. In short, you need distractions. Each of us at Lockwoods has our preference. I do a bit of drawing, George has his comics, Lockwood himself reads the gossip magazines. But all of us like our tea and biscuits, and that night in the Hopes house was no exception.
