Those Years I Spent Fighting in the New World’s Rule Horror

Rule One

At midnight, the fireplace may make a sound like a woman crying because the air is dry. Please do not overreact.

Rule Two

There is only one master of this manor: Mr. Leonka. Mr. Leonka goes to bed promptly at nine in the evening. After the lights go out, if you hear anyone calling you, do not go to them.

Rule Three

Alfred's nonexistent deceased wife.

The shattered plate.
