Dining Room/Story

**After 02 Vacuum the floor**

Maddie: This place is stunning! So much gold and glitz… underneath all the dust and grime that is.

Maddie: Good thing no food was left out, or this place would be overrun with rats.

Maddie: Eek! I spoke too soon, I think I just saw one in the corner!

Maddie: EEEEEW!!

**After 03 Remove cobwebs and mystery box**

Buttler: I see your endeavours to reclaim the grandeur of your past home have come to a head, Ma’am.

Buttler: While your efforts in restoring the other rooms are admirable, I honestly believe that this room is a lost cause…

Butler: No one will EVER be visiting Beaumont Hall again!

Maddie: What do you mean?

Deb: He means, the wonderful old days of this mansion holding amazing dinner parties are over.

Maddie: Dinner parties?

**After 06 Clean dirt**

Buttler: Deb…

Deb: Winston.

Maddie: Tell me more about these dinner parties.

Deb: Oh, sweetie! Some of the most influential people used to dine within these very walls!

Butler: “USED TO”, being the operative phrase.

Deb: Hmph! Ignore the old buffoon, Maddie. He’s just bitter he can’t serve the president like he used to.

Maddie: P- President?!

Deb: Oh yes, sweetie! I’m sure you’ll find some trinkets from then amongst this thrash. It seems as Winston here hasn’t bothered to clean up.

Butler: I beg your pardon, Debbie, but while you were gallivanting across Europe and who know where…

Buttler: I have been doing MY best to take care of “YOUR” legacy!

Ursula: That’s enough, Mr. Winston!

Maddie: Grandma!

**After 09 Clean and place the stool back**

Maddie: This grand piano certainly isn’t “grand”, anymore but a little love and a lot of tuning can do wonders!

**After 10 Fix the stool**

Maddie: Hmm, this piano is quite out of tune. Tap on the piano to try and tune it!

**After getting a Metronome for the first time**

Maddie: Drag and drop the Metronome on the piano to activate it

**After activating the piano with the Metronome the first time**

Maddie: Tap on the piano to tune it when the pendulum not at the center to produce pure notes

Maddie: Note that if you tap on the piano when the pendulum is at the center, your piano will produce bad notes

**After producing the first pure note**

Maddie: Fantastic job! You’re getting the hang of it!

**After 32 Clean and collect fallen things**

Maddie: What was all that about, Grandma? Why were those two fighting?

Ursula: Oh, you know my sister can be a bit “much” sometimes!

Maddie: No, this seems personal. Does Winston have a grudge against her?

Ursula: …

Maddie: What is it, Grandma?

Ursula: Dearie… I know you’ll eventually find out even if I don’t tell you. So, yes, he does.

Ursula: \*Sigh\* He believes that your aunt Deb does not belong in the family.

Maddie: What?!

**After 35 Polish and place the chair back**

Roddy: Hi Maddie, Winston let me in and… Wait, is everything okay? You look upset.

Maddie: Hi, Roddy. I… I guess not.

Maddie: It’s this Mansion. Ever since I’ve opened it, in hopes to clear Grandma’s name, I’ve been learning… things.

Roddy: What kind of things?

Maddie: Things about my family that are beginning to make me understand why Grandma kept them secret from me, for all of these years.

Roddy: I see… Well, I’ll let you in on something; EVERY family has secrets, even mine.

Maddie: Haha! Oh, Roddy!! Thank you, but I don’t think our secrets can even compare.

Roddy: … You’d be surprised.

**After 38 Restock the old trolley**

Maddie: I find it hard to believe that a president was within these very walls!

Deb: Not just any president; Abraham Lincoln was here!

Deb: He stopped in Hopewell Bay when he was on tour.

Deb: The Boultons entertained him for an evening, and he even stayed in this house overnight!

Maddie: That’s amazing! I wonder what they talked about, over dinner, that night?

Deb: We’ll never know, but it’s nice to imagine!

**After 67 Clean the Family Photo**

Maddie: Aww! The whole family together. There's grandpa and Leonard and…. wait!

Maddie: Deb's missing! That's quite strange. Was it deliberate?

Maddie: Hmm... I wonder if this has something to do with Winston's outburst!

**After 92 Restore the Old Baby Chair**

Maddie: Grandma, why is there a baby chair here?

Ursula: Don't you remember, dearie? This was yours when you were little.

Maddie: No way! But, come to think of it, I do have some vague memories of this room...

**After 132 Carefully Lift and Clean the Urn**

Maddie: I wonder whose ashes are in here...

Maddie: Oh wait, there's a plaque and it says Mingus. Aww, Grandma's beloved old cat!

Maddie: I heard he died under mysterious circumstances...

**After 134 Clean the Photo of the Two Great Men**

Maddie: I can't believe there's a piece of history preserved in this very room!

Maddie: Ooh, I see some scribbles behind this photo...

Maddie: I think I can make out a few words. Galley? No, gallery!

Maddie: And there's a sketch here too! It looks like a key and it's different from the others.

Maddie: The key to the gallery must be somewhere in this room. I'll have to find it first!

**After 144 Clean the Dust and Dirt Inside**

Roddy: Oh my goodness!

Maddie: It's a knife! And there's something on it!

Maddie: Is that blood?!

Maddie: Or jelly?

Roddy: Knowing your Grandma, it's probably jelly or berries!

Maddie: I hope so! Because if not, this could be more evidence against her…

**After 169 Play the Whole Song**

Maddie: Tuning a piano as old as this was no joke. Now, it's time to see whether all that hard work paid off...

Maddie: It's been a while since I've played a piano piece...

Maddie: I hope I still remember those lessons I took as a teen!

**Plays piece on piano**

Maddie: Not bad, if I do say so myself. My high school teacher, Mrs Wexley would be proud!

**After 170 See What Dropped to the Ground**

Maddie: This key looks exactly like the sketch behind the photo!

Maddie: It has to be the gallery key! I can't wait to open it!

Maddie: Wait, do I hear water running? Oh nooo!
