Welcome back. Content warning(1)

Turns out I only started uploading Season 3 videos during the Halloween Special. Oops! I'll get the rest of this seasons videos up this spring. Sorry, time to play the catch up.

Anyway, in this video, Owen narrates "The West Room," a short story, written by Cathrine Lord, under the pseudonym Lucy Hardy in 1895. We get this story from The Canterbury Journal this short story was published in the October 25th edition, and re-discovered and then edited  by Johnny Mains.

In the breakdown episode we reference "The Canterbury tales," by coincidence, as I am realizing now! How fun, lots of coincidences in the next episode, by I digress, (foreshadowing). 

Again, (1) content warning, this episode refers to trauma, murder, child birth, and subsequently child death. Please be aware. It is not directly described but take heed. 

A new family rents a mansion from a country family, while the mother in the family is pregnant. The father needs to leave to take care of his future estate and his sickly uncle. He makes sure to leave his sister behind to tend to his pregnant wife, but in that posting lies strife and apprehension. How will the sister-in-law treat the wife to be while the father to be is out? What trauma brings on the shade of death? Who will survive? Who will become the heir apparent? Find out!
