Colonel Lawrence's House

**Colonel Lawrence's House** is an old cobblestone building located in St. George's Holm. The player comes across this building during all three Acts as part of either main quests or side quests.

## Residence

There's a total of five wellies residing in the home. Thomas Lawrence, his two daughters Regina MacLear and Honour MacLear, as well as their two husbands, Ned MacLear and Edmund MacLear.

Depending on the Act, the amount of wellies patrolling the house varies.

If playing as Arthur, Regina and Ed will be in the living room by the coffin while Ned is upstairs, Honour will also be dancing to disturbing music in her bedroom.

Sally will only find Regina, Honour and Ed in the house, with Regina and Honour arguing about who gets what in their father's will.

Ollie will find all of the family members in the house, although Thomas has been replaced by a taxidermied dog.

## History

The house presumably belongs to Thomas Lawrence, it can also be assumed that it's an old family home as pictures depicting war times are found across the walls. The player can also find pictures of Thomas and his brother, Edward, as well as their dog, Bonny Prince Charlie, who they quarreled over for years.

At some point in time, Regina and her husband Edmund, took Thomas in to live the rest of his days with them. Causing the sisters and husbands to argue back and forth on who to care for Thomas, who should get what from his will, and how to get rid of his corpse when time has taken its course.

## Events of *We Happy Few*

### Act l

Arthur comes across Col. Lawrence's house and overhears Regina arguing with Ed about the alarm system being turned off. After hearing about their reserves, Arthur decides to check in to see what's going on. When inside, he goes upstairs to see Thomas, who is living under terrible condition in the storage room.

Arthur is tasked by Thomas to go visit his brother Edward and hopefully reunite the two, this however doesn't go as planned, as Arthur is forced to go back to tell Thomas about the terrible news. In return, Thomas gives Arthur a footlocker which he has to use above the fireplace in Edward's home in order to get the loot.

### Act ll

Sally visits the home to get samples of Thomas as he has been exposed to mustard gas. For a brief moment, Thomas mistakes Sally for his third daughter, Hope.

### Act lll

Ollie visits the home as he is told by Lionel Castershire that one of his clients is anxious to get his hands on Thomas' taxidermied dog, when visiting the area, he overhears the two families arguing with each other about what to do with Thomas' corpse.

This deeply upsets Ollie as Thomas was a war hero. Upstairs he finds the Salty Dog in place of Thomas on the wheelchair.

## Trivia

* Edward's face is scribbled out with a red pen in the photos.
* In the living room, the banner above the coffin says "Bon Voyage Thomas".
	+ Bon Voyage is a French phrase often used to wish someone well on their journey elsewhere.
* The MacLear family is likely based off of the Shakespearean play "*King Lear*", in which the *King Lear of Briton* hands two of his three daughters all of his fortunes and power, as the two had flattered him, but not the third. After some time, the two daughters do everything in their power to rid of King Lear as soon as possible, succeeding in the end.
