Vad hände på natten vid Wythburn Mill-driften?

3

The light went out.

Then all the screams began.

I twisted my head, looked back down the passage and across the foyer towards the open door. Far off in the distant dusk I saw the cigarette’s pinprick point of red.

‘Sir! Mr Jacobs!’

Nothing.

‘Sir! We need your help! Sir!’

The pinprick flared as the agent took a breath. No answer came. He didn’t move. Then wind roared along the corridor and nearly knocked me off my feet. The walls of the mill shook; the open door slammed shut.

I cursed in the darkness. Then I drew a canister from my belt, raised my rapier high, and ran round the corner of the corridor towards the screams. ~Jonathan Stroud: The Screaming Staircase, ch 5

Här stoppar Lucy konto. Vi vet bara att alla hennes medarbetare, som kom in i huset, dog den natten.

Omnämner hon senare vad som just hände den natten, hur Lucy behandlade besökaren?
