Examination
Leonard: It is time to remember. We need to go to the boudoir.
Task: Go through the children's room in the ghosts mode.
You take the quill in your left hand, Leonard touches your right, and the room begins to shift. A mirror emerges from the wall, a chair turns into a couch with a curved back, and the madam lounges in it. On the other side of the table, with his back to you, a young man is standing, wearing rich but very well-worn clothes.
Lynette: Can you read and write?

Lynette: Are you an orphan?

Leo: Can I ask one question, ma'am?

Lynette: These things should not be of interest to a good servant. If you agree, I will be waiting for you tomorrow at eight.
You completed Leonard's task. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.
Leonard: He was left-handed, but Madame did not know that. That is why he passed the examination. The young heir to an impoverished family. His parents died, leaving only debts behind. They were neither gamblers nor spenders. Such was the time - many aristocrats came to ruin as they were unwilling to part with their estate which required great expenses...
