Vespermere
It keeps a room for someone who never arrived.
A house too far from the road for anyone to leave after dark, kept by staff who do not discuss the east wing. It has been in mourning for so long that nobody living can name what for.

Adair Whitlock
A guest who wrote ahead, and whose letter nobody admits to having read. Travelling clothes brushed for an arrival nobody came down for, and a candle carried at all hours because the house offers no second one.

Hester Quillon
The one who is already in the room. Dressed for a season the house has not seen in decades, and never quite where the candle is pointed.

The Candle Stair
The only place in the house where both floors can be heard at once. A candle carried up it goes out at the seventh step, every time, and relights without complaint.

The Guest Book
Everyone who stays signs it. One entry recurs in a hand nobody has matched, re-dated each year in the same ink, always on the night before a guest arrives.

The Wake That Was Not Held
A death in the east wing the family never mourned in public and never explained in private. The house closed for a season and reopened with one more room made up than there are people to sleep in it.
