<strong>Helena follows Cooper down the stairs</strong><br/><br/>"It's that great black dog... isn't it?" Helena quavered, letting her somewhat irrational fears get the best of her as she followed Cooper and James down the stairs. "The maids were talking about it before, said they'd seen it prowling the grounds and they had all manner of wild theories," she added for Cooper's benefit and also in her own defense.<br/><br/>Now that she spoke her suspicions about a great black hell-hound out loud they did seem a bit silly, something that belonged in a book of horror stories... Not in real life.
