Well, the auction was this afternoon.Harold bid on the spirit bottle but was unwilling to commit more than £100 to it, despite my urgings to go higher. It shows what a skinflint he is, if you ask me. I make an almost limitless supply of money available to him and he still holds onto the pennies like they were worth tuppence. The item went to a lady I vaguely recognised as living on Cherry Tree Avenue for £214. It the spirit inside really is malevolent, we’ll soon be taking a wander across town.
Against my advice, however, he bid on the doll’s house. He had to really, didn’t he? I should have said ‘Buy this, Harold, it’s utterly fabulous’ and then he would never have looked twice at it. Of course he bought it for £85, inclusive of doomed souls and wants to put it in the house. At least I managed to persuade him the stables would be sufficient for now and give him the chance to effect repairs. I’m relieved to say he agreed. Lucy is, after all, only nine months old.
Now I‘ll have a chat with Gillian and casually mention the haunted doll’s house.

I suspect they'll be dealing with the spirit bottle yet.
The doll house remains a mystery. I wonder if Gillian will destroy it before the matter is resolved?
Ooh, I doubt it, but we'll see!
Most excellent!
Thank you :)
Leave it to Harold to stumble on something he shouldn't.
A little pick and roll coming up then?
Perhaps :)
