Quests from The Panic Room: House of Secrets

Marie

Leonard: Let's go to the bedroom. This letter was written there, so there it must return.

Task: Go through the bedroom in the shadows mode.

You put the letter on the table and place the inkwell and the quill next to it. Suddenly you hear a voice.

Leo: Hello, lady Maria. Have you called for me?

Marie: Yes. There is a letter from Uncle Robert. The butler brought it to me... this morning .

Leo: Do you want me to write a reply, lady?

Marie: No... I mean, yes. The thing is, I wrote it, but... I am not sure if I did it correctly.

As she said that, she blushed and turned to the wall so I could not see her face.

Marie: My step-mother is away, but the letter must be answered as soon as possible.

The girl handed the servant a sheet of paper covered with writing.

Marie: Check and... rewrite it. I made a few corrections...

Leo: Certainly, lady Maria.

The girl turned around and looked right at the boy. There was no blush now.

Marie: Could you not call me that? Please.

Leo: Of course, lady Mar... What should I call you?

Marie: Call me Marie. I am so tired of this officialism. Everyone is addressing me like I am forty, but at the same time I cannot attend any of the receptions. I feel like porcelain doll. Not alive...

Marie: I am sorry, I shouldn't have told you that. Don't tell Lynnette, please... And about the letter, too. When you are finished, send it to Robert.

Leo: Marie...

Marie: Yes?

Leo: When my father died, I stopped living as well. It gets lonely sometimes, too, but only when I idle about. If you need me, Marie, just tell me.

Marie: I will... Leo.

Ghosts disappear as abruptly as they appeared.

You completed Leonard's task. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.

Leonard: This letter came earlier, before the guest night in the lounge. But why did she want to send it while her step-mother was away?
