Anorkin's Midnight Visitor

The Black Void - Episode 4265

I might not be prepared to go about the house unclothed but I will have to go to bed in the buff, as the the sackcloth nightdress that is hanging in the wardrobe would be far too uncomfortable to sleep in. I am relieved that my bedsheets are still silk. I discover that the door of my room cannot be locked from the inside, so I hope that Anorkin won't get any ideas about paying me a nocturnal visit.

Considering the circumstances, I get to sleep surprising quickly. But at some point in the middle of the night, I am woken by raised voices from somewhere downstairs. Who would visit Anorkin at this late hour?

I am unable to make out what they are saying and, though I know that I will be in big trouble if I am caught, I can't resist going to investigate. I light the candle on my bedside table. Then I slip on the gown and slippers, pick up the candle, open my bedroom door and cautiously make my way downstairs.

As I was expecting, the voices are coming from Anorkin's study. The door is open, so I douse the candle in order that my presence hopefully won't be detected. I start to shuffle along the darkened hall towards the door, but then realise that I can hear perfectly well from where I am, and stop.

  1. I listen to the conversation. The voices had been too muffled when I was in my room for me to tell, but now it is clear that the second voice is that of a man.
  2. I listen to the conversation. The voices had been too muffled when I was in my room for me to tell, but now I realise that the second voice is that of a woman.
  3. Unfortunately my presence is swiftly detected.
