    Robert rushes in and grabs Sherrinford from behind, holding his arms back. Sherrinford puts up no resistance. Graves rushes in and knocks the knife from Sherrinford's hand with a well-placed kick. Sherrinford doesn't move. Wondering what is going on, Robert shakes him. He moves only limply. Robert slaps him. He makes no response. Mr. Jevers shouts out loud for somebody to fetch a bottle of brandy.

    The brandy is brought, the neck of the bottle is forced between Sherrinford's lips and a tot is poured down his throat. He suddenly seems to revive, and asks "Where am I?" in a weary tone. When he sees the blood on himself, and the knife on the floor, and Lucinda's corpse, he is horrified. Graves and Mr. Jevers hustle him to the sitting room and lie him down on a chaise longue, bringing him brandy. He seems to revive enough for you to ask him questions. First, however, he calls in Graves. "Graves, make ready, then prepare the carriage and ride into town, and bring back the Constable Culverton and Dr. Sacker. A murder has been committed, and the law must be summoned."

    "Go, Graves. I am an honest man. Well, I had a nightcap and decided to turn in and do a little reading. It seems I fell asleep, because the next thing I remember is a dream, or it seemed like a dream, since everything was fuzzy, and indistinct, if you know what I mean? A light shone from my side wall into my room, then several robed figures walked into the room towards me, from the wall. They reminded me a little of druids. None said a word. Two took me by the hand and guided me off the bed, then led me to the wall and right through, as though we were ghosts. Then we came to a doorway with cloth hangings around it, and I was in another room full of empty beds. The robed figures seemed waiting for something; then, a rat scurried from under a bed and one of the druids bent down as if to inspect it or to talk to it. They took me back to the doorway full of...clothes, they were...and we came out in another room, which looked like Lucinda's bedroom. Then, suddenly, all the figures were gone but me and one other, and that one was looking down at Lucinda with a knife in his hand, then she woke up, and screamed, and the next thing I knew, you were all standing round me, and I was covered in blood. I feel ill."

    Mr. Jevers, who's standing nearby, insists that his master be put to bed at once.

    You see chalk marks on the wall he described walking through; not a lot is left, but what is seems geometric, containing circles and angles. You also notice a rat-hole that wasn't there before.

    The bed is hard to search with Sherrinford in it, but seems fine. His Clark Russell book is a normal sea-adventure story, and the brandy seems fine, but to check, you'll have to taste it, something he won't like much.

    OK, make a Pharmacy and a Chemistry roll as a matter of course, and if the Reverend regularly drinks brandy, he gets an extra Idea roll.

    The brandy, he says, has a very strange and almost chemical aftertaste.

    "Maybe. Dr. Sacker will be here shortly - " As if on cue, the door creaks open, and Graves, Culverton's, and Dr. Sacker's voices can be heard from the foyer.

    Dr. Sacker tastes a little of this brandy. "You are correct. This brandy has been drugged with opium. Popular remedy for insomnia amongst the upper classes, I believe. Now, let us to the body." So saying, they all walk to Lucinda's room, Culverton flips out a notebook and begins taking statements from the servants, including Stark's conclusion that Sherrinford murdered Lucinda because she still spurned his love after he'd killed Fischbein for her. Hearing this, Culverton immediately declares that he must arrest Sherrinford and take him down to the gaol, and orders him to get dressed.

    "Chalk and ratholes, unusual? I doubt it." Culverton's mind is quite clearly made up as he helps Dr. Sacker to wrap up the body of Lucinda in a blanket.

    Dr. Sacker snorts, "I am a man of reason, a scientist, and I don't believe in that superstitious nonsense," and Culverton scoffs, "Well, it's clear to me that Mr. Bell stabbed the victim dead. There's no need to bring in extra factors.". Sacker agrees. "Occam's Razor, don't you know?"

    Upon retiring to bed, James and Robert, at least, sleep far more soundly than usual, courtesy of the opium they have ingested. When James finally wakes up, a glance at the ticking timepiece on the bedside cabinet shows it is half-past eleven in the morning.

    Everyone else seems to be up and about, except Robert, who is still snoring. Mrs. Hooper, however, has locked herself in her room, and is refusing utterly to come out, and only responding at all to Graves and Mr. Jevers, when they knock and call.
