Also, if anyone should think to check for Emily, she is absolutely still in the carriage, asleep.<br/><br/><strong>GM Info:</strong>On second thought, you guys can feel free to explore the manor on your own terms. If I have time, I will describe the rooms you are in, but if you just want to get in there and move around, feel free to peek at the the map and the descriptions of the various places, and have at it. There are a few places that I would really like to have time to play with, though, and that includes the following: the the Attic (is off limits for several days, due to how much work needs to be done to make it accessible) and the Little Girl's Bedroom on the 2nd floor; if you end up in either of those places, please make sure to pause so I can fill you in on details.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As the many individuals work outside and inside the manor home, preparing it for its new visitors, there's a rather odd sight. A light goes on and off somewhere on the second floor, as if someone is opening and closing the shutter of a lantern in rapid succession. It draws the eyes, like a beacon. At first the flashing is quick, but after a short while, it becomes steady and a figure can been seen through the window; it's a young girl.<br/><br/>She's dressed in a white gown and holding a doll, it looks like. Apparently one of the servants must have gotten Emily up to the bedrooms. Last everyone saw, the child had fallen asleep in her carriage. While it would be some time before supper was ready, perhaps the girl could use a soft bed more than a bowl of rich porridge.<br/><br/>(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6530/storypost.jpg)
