I don't know, but we might ask the stiff to come to tea with us.

Of course, it would be a late tea.

Somewhere between midnight and cock-crow would be about the etiquette of the thing, I fancy! But I must tell you all the realities of the Castle and around it.
So I will write again within a day or two, and try to let you know enough to prepare you for coming here.

Till then adieu, my dear.
Your loving RUPERT.

I hope I did not frighten you, dear Aunt Janet, by the yarn of the lady in the coffin.

But I know you are not afraid; you have told me too many weird stories for me to dread that.
