Heavy New England rain
Heavy New England rain and thunder poured from the outside windows, making the sound of a continues tapping sound. Forty-two men of, rather large wealth, gathered around a rectangular shaped table that stretched to the left and right sides of the room and at the far left was a fireplace crackling wood peacefully. The room smelled of burning wood and lit cigars. This room was used only for important meetings for the surreptitious society, and was a donation from the owner of the building, Lord Richard. He was a wealthy man and treated every man no matter how high or low class the man may be,equally.
Believing that the society’s sectarian decisions are kept safe, after all in this game you rarely could trust anyone and so he gladly donated the building, being a society member himself. When everyone in the room settled down the leader of the society was revere, known as Lord Barren, he began call the meeting to order. “I have called this meeting to discuss Lord Tembers betrayal to our society and I hope I do hope not provoke to any of the members here but since he has greatly done damage to our plans I suggest we relegate him out of our society.” The men around the table agreed until one member blurted out “But he will go to the police and tell them of our plans to rob the museums of Europe!” The men became quiet and looked to their leader. Trying to make a judicious yet an impetuous decision Lord Barren answered “I must say irony has gotten the better of me but that will not stop me from making a decision to keep this society going therefore I open to the members suggestion.”
An obtuse man in the corner stood up, his marred boots making a squawky sound as he walked to the end of the left side table. “Well, there is one obvious thing to do that you all seem to avoid, which is murdering Lord Tembers, of course we could make it look like he committed suicide.” Lord Barren tried to see if anyone in the room would hedge the idea, but everyone was silent and

The next day there are two more complaints. Finally, at midnight one evening, four men sneak around and sprinkle lime near the foundation, the cellar door, and all the outbuildings.

    Passage A The Duvall family were relatively new to the village of Malsam. They had feared a long period of suspicion, but even gimlet-eyed old women, who normally took months to unbend and acknowledge newcomers, warmed to the blond-haired children and their gentle parents. The weather in these parts was less hospitable. The wind never settled and, as the Duvalls gathered by the fire each night, their little home wheezed and moaned like an out of tune accordion. Even though the floors were spotless, and Katya, the mother, insisted on cleanliness in this new home of theirs, draughts still made skittering noises. The children, Gabriel and Luca, did schoolwork upstairs, but more often played noisily with good friends they had made. Henri, their father, was becoming well-known for his finely crafted furniture, and life was good here. One night, when the grumbling of their home was low, Henri and Katya were about to settle to sleep, when they both heard unfamiliar sounds; tiny…

    III. Through the appearances and actions of Mr. Nilson and Mr. Tandram, one can truly see how rigid the Victorian upper-middle class was. “His firm, well-coloured cheeks, with their neat brown mustaches, and his round, well-opened, clear grey eyes, wore a reassuring appearance of good health. Putting on his black frock-coat, he went downstairs.” The two neighbors are IDENTICAL when it comes to appearance. It is almost eerie. Both men look at the tree holding their paper behind their backs. The posture, attitude, clothing, and physical characteristics are all the same. This serves to show just how alike all of the upper-middle class is. Both of the men wear black frock-coats. The black is symbolic of the death that they will die. They are…

This afternoon the two servants remained in the Grange while the family was in London, had gone to the movies. Horace saw them go, and he felt happy spite of a little tickle of hay fever in his nose.

    The daughter had just uttered some simple jest that filled them all with mirth, when the wind came through the Notch and seemed to pause before their cottage--rattling the door, with a sound of wailing and lamentation, before it passed into the valley. For a moment it saddened them, though there was nothing unusual in the tones. But the family were glad again when they perceived that the latch was lifted by some traveller, whose footsteps had been unheard amid the dreary blast which heralded his approach, and wailed as he was entering, and went moaning away from the door.…

The first group could have bequeathed riches upon the young man but just at the moment when they might have conferred an inheritance they were called back to the road. The second party was a young woman who, had David Swan awakened, would have loved him. She would have also indirectly given him wealth and stability through her father's employment. The last group had malicious intent and would have robbed the young man had they not been distracted by sounds and movement in other areas of the wood. Each of these instances relates examples of what could have been had the young man been conscious and responsive.…
