Saturday 17th June 1898 - Sunday 18th June 1898

Kidnapped in Singapore by two of the Inspectors “boys”  lured from his drug dens by his friends cash transfers to the raffles hotel, Artie was unceremoniously bundled aboard a steamer bound for home and it was a sad and sorry Artie who was met on the quay by the reverend and Mr Pitt Rivers.

Proceeding to Arties Cheltenham residence the company gathered around in his time of need, celebrating his safe return with a grand dinner of six courses exquisitely prepared by the new cook, mrs Postlethwaite and kitchengirl.

Gastons absence despite his promise to join the company  led to a frank discussion about the sinister influence of his muse upon him and Athena. The ways and means of getting through to the fey lands where it is believed the Baby is held were also discussed at Major Petries insistence.

Next morning Mrs Petrie revealed she had dreamt of the lost baby again, Buffy, it was suggested, might be able to hypnotise her into remembering further details of its location.

After a splendid breakfast the party embarked to Maisie and Berties home Little Dean Hall, source of so much mystery to view the root of the Pyrke/leRoux curse.

The house was eerily cool in the blistering june heat and a number of cats frolicked upon the lawns, the Reverend spotted a dark lady, which noone else saw, walking across the lawns.

The old ruined boasts the remains of a Roman temple was chosen as the site of the hypnotism where a bundle of dried flowers had been placed upon an alter.

As Mrs Petrie talked in a dream like state she revealed she was in fact a fey and that the child was the last link between the feyrealm and the mortal one.


Back in Cheltenham it was decided to abduct Gaston to Skipton rectory and attempt to exorcise his muse and also to try to break through to the fey lands at the summer solstice in a mere three days time.  Postitive action was clearly called for.

So Miss Rosetti, Artie and the ladies went to the library to research....


  • Much transpired over the following months.  The Vicar excorcised Gaston, Athena suffered the wrath of a vengeful spirit and had a story published in The Strand, friends rallied around, the Petries went to fairy Land and saw Katherines baby, Mr. Pitt-Rivers and Proff. Van De Wass corresponded, Gaston went to Egypt (despite the advice of the others), Elaine bought a charming scarlet dress, Buffy took on a very difficult case, some attended the Lochnaw  fortnight,  Dr. Staunton continued deep in study, the Reverend got a new job, Artie took his servents to the opera and confused them no end, Miss Emerald got a pleasent surprise as did her brother, Dr. Wilson sent men looking for engineers in Cambridge, Crowley's followers continued to sneer at the Proffessor, Fai Lhung Ghee and Dixon went very quiet and Count von Zepplin built his airship.
