I have a passion for reading and understanding myself perhaps I might observe as you view this Papyrus you speak of.  I would hope that Lord Winterstone would allow just that, I have heard that he will not permit us of the fairer sex to see such sights as that which stirs upstairs.  I would have half a mind to make a fuss but with my aunt here and feelings as they are this eve, I believe it may in fact be for the best." </em><br/><br/>Rowena shooed away one of the houses staff as they tried to offer her another drink, she had not taken one that evening and with the foul feelings she felt when she entered she did not intend too.   She had the feeling she would need her wits this night, but she did not wish to offend the Lord so she leaned close to the serving staff and whispered discreetly.<em> "I will take some tea latter if that would be no trouble, I am not permitted the luxury of wine at present."  </em>
