Leatherby Hall in Wiltshire

Nestled into the rolling hills along the border between Wiltshire and Somerset counties, Leatherby Hall is an Elizabethan era manor house built of honey colored sandstone with many interesting nooks and crannies. The walls are thick. The windows narrow with leaded lights. The floors creak at every step. The main rooms have been fitted with electric lights and there are a number of indoor toilet facilities.

Dramatis Personae

Above Stairs

Miss Evelyn Northwood is a classic musician -- a violinist. She is unmarried.  She is staying at Leatherby Hall for the Christmas season as a guest of Lady Jane Leatherby, her childhood friend.

Julian Prospero is a novelist who writes occult adventure stories under a pen name. He is a University friend of Sir Brian who has also been invited for the Christmas holiday

Lady Jane Leatherby is a school girl friend of Evelyn’s. She was Jane Gregg when they were at boarding school together in Winchester in Hampshire. Jane and Evelyn have corresponded regularly since those days, but they have not seen one another more than a half dozen times. Not at all since Jane married Sir Brian.

Sir Brian Leatherby is a wealthy country squire. His family seat at Leatherby Hall has extensive estates attached to it. He is an intelligent man, but more interested in hunting than reading. He is a bit vain and dearly wants to leave his mark on the world of learning. The opportunity to endow his Alma Mater with an historic archaeological find is too good a chance to turn down.

Dr. Duncan Watts
is a physician, an old friend of Sir Brian’s, down from London. He works on Harley Street, famous for its specialists. He lives locally but spends much of his time at the Hall.

Professor Morris Thorn is an older man, an Oxford don who taught Sir Brian when he was at college. He has been invited to visit because of what Major McGregor has brought.

Major Angus McGregor is an explorer and a soldier of fortune. He has just returned from Egypt with something he found there that he thinks Sir Brian will pay well for.
