LONDON 1867 11 OCTOBER
SIR ALDEN EWARD, HAMILTON TERRACE 12, LONDON
ODD SIGHTINGS REPORTED IN BARNOLDSWICK. EXPERTISE REQUIRED ASAP.
MME KATHERINE BAILLARD
The telegram had rested in his nervous hands, would this be the one time it got right? Finally he would be proven right? The last of a nearly dead line, he had been given every opportunity but no success... his office was empty, certificates of the wall proving his education, but it seemed that this particular field held no yields in reality. Not the way he had wanted to. Providing astrological readings for the upper class ladies hadn't quite been why he had studied this, and he couldn't see one more 'haunted' cabinet going up for sale to the collectors of the false macabre. Occasionally a fetish or mummy passed along from the Africas, but those were quite dead... and not quite as undead as he liked. Grim as they were, they were not the occult he hoped for; abnormal, yes, but not paranormal.
He'd thrown every penny he had obtained in this way toward fruitless fieldwork, yet success hadn't come. He had been left literally empty handed. Except for now this letter that came, on the brink of bankruptcy... could it have been that the occult had called him?
Exciting yes, but then he realised he needed someone to get him to Barnoldswick. A driver, a travel companion. Someone would have to do, he had too little left to spend on dillydallying.
Thus, Viscount Alden Verginius Eward of Gravesend set out to find him a suited fellow for this journey... the young man certainly didn't look like he would do very well against witches and werewolves, rather he'd get killed by a falling book from his library. Dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a rather average length but with frail build, he better had had as much expertise as the framed certificates on the wall claimed he had. Or else the first truly haunted cabinet he came by would probably eat him for aperitif.
