Arthur continued to stare at the painting as he listened to the old woman's tale. He wasn't paying a lot of attention but just enough so he wouldn't appear rude. At the mention of ghosts though, he smiled a half smile. There was always an explanation, he thought to himself. Personally, he didn't believe in ghosts and he highly doubted that his stay here was going to change that. As his hostess finish her story, he realized that he didn't know her name yet.<br/><br/>"An intriguing tale, to say the least," he said courteously. "I must confess that I do not your name, ma'am. Have you seen her ghost since you bought this house? Any ideas on the man she was meeting? Mysteries want to be solved and solving them helps me pass the time while my muse is absent."
