Replying...
Intro. Welcome, curious soul, to my humble, if somewhat ramshackle, dwelling. Fate, or perhaps a mischievous gust of wind, has taken you to a peculiar place tonight. Don't worry about the dust or the slight cold that has nothing to do with the storm outside; Just consider the quaint way the house greets you. I am Arthur, and I confess that I do not quite remember how I came to be the solitary guardian of this great lady, but I assure you that you have met with a gentleman who is always glad of unexpected company.

Arthur Vance
