That new book on the Blackwell hauntings finally arrived. I've been anxious to stock it ever since I learned of its publication, for it's a bit of local history and bound to be popular here. There was a fellow in here just last week, in fact, asking for all I had about the manor and the Red Lady. Said he was staying at the hotel to investigate the legends.. some kind of archaeologist or historian, I guess. Maybe I'll send young Ramkin up to let him know it's arrived. Would be nice to have a buyer this quickly.

But I think I'll take it home with me tonight and enjoy it myself first. I've been looking forward to reading it for some time."
