Great Hall/Story

As Maddie finally unlocked the door to the mansion. she was met with an unexpected visitor - Victoria, the newly appointed Head of the City Council. Maddie was shocked to hear that the mansion was going to be seized, and Victoria's promotion only made things worse. Maddie learned more about the dire financial situation the Boulton family was facing, but she was puzzled that her Grandma didn't seem worried at all.

### Dialogue

**After 28-1 Search for the key**

Maddie: I can’t believe the key was under the mat this whole time! I’m pretty sure I checked under there and I didn’t find anything… Still… No holding back now! I’m finally getting inside this mansion!

Ursula: You should really stop this little quest of yours dear. There’s nothing in there but broken dreams and sad memories…

Maddie: But Grandma, there may also be evidence that could prove your innocence!

Ursula: Dearie… If you keep digging up the past, all you get is dirty!

Maddie: …

**After 28-2 Open the door**

Maddie: I can’t believe it! I’m in the Boulton family mansion! I didn’t even know there was a mansion, until I accidentally saw Grandma’s notice… But now I’m inside and I can finally find something that can help Grandma! Although… It does look like I have a lot of work to do in here, also.

Victoria: So, you finally did it. You finally got inside this crumbling heap…

Maddie: Huh?! Who are you ?!

**After 28-3 Remove step debris**

Maddie: Will? Who are you, and what are you doing in my mansion?

Victoria: Oh please… This Mansion belongs to the Hopewell Bay town council! Or at least, it soon will, even in this sorry state…

Maddie: Let me guess. You’re Holden’s boss? Something to do with infrastructure?

Victoria: Wrong again missy… I was Head of the Infrastructure Committee. I’m the head of the Town Council. Recently promoted. I think you should kneel or something?

**After 28-4 Remove dust sheet**

Victoria: I’ll be straight with you… You’ll need to do more! A lot more, if you even want to consider keeping this mansion.

Maddie: I only just got inside! I don’t even have access to all the rooms yet!

Victoria: No surprises there… The Boulton family were never very good at managing this place.

Maddie: What do you mean by that?

Victoria: Your grandpa ran this place into the ground! Look at it! And I’m very confident you’ll do the same. You are a Boulton after all. And when you do… I’ll be here. Claiming it for the council. Expect to see Holden a bit more from now on! Ciao!

**After 28-5 Remove debris at the top of the steps**

Ursula: Are you alright, Maddie? You look upset.

Maddie: Grandma? I’m… fine. I wasn’t expecting to see you in here, though.

Ursula: I felt guilting you leaving you alone, so I brought some supplies to help you clean up. You must understand, this place holds a lot of memories for me…

Maddie: I’d love to hear them some day…

Ursula: They’re not all good, Maddie! For instance, this great hall is the place you and I said goodbye to this house. You were still only a little girl, but here… Here I decided to leave everything behind.

Maddie: Buy why grandma?

Ursula: … I do have another story I can tell you about the great hall!

**After 28-6 Remove and clean old rolled rug**

Maddie That’s strange… Everything is covered with dust, except for this one spot! Hmm, could it have been a letter?

**After 28-12 Clean umbrella stand canes**

Maddie: There’s footprints in the dust! Has someone been here all this time?! Maybe I should keep an eye out, just in case…

**After 28-43 Fix and place the red hat**

Ursula:  Your Grandpa Charlie never liked this room when we first got married.

Maddie: He didn’t? But it’s so grand and beautiful! Especially now that I’ve restored it.

Ursula: That’s why he never liked it! He thought it was too fancy. I had a hard time trying to convince your Grandpa otherwise!

Maddie: How did you convince him?

Ursula: I put up lots of decorations! Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, you name it. Really tacky ones too.

Maddie: I’m glad he liked it in the end. Hopefully he’d like what I’m doing with it now!

**After 28-69 Clean and place the old painting back**

Maddie: Ignatius and Agatha Boulton… They looked very happy together.

**After 28-96 Clean and remove old intercom**

Maddie: Oh wow! An old B3 Intercom system from the 1920’s! Grandma used to read me the manual as a kid, to get me to sleep. Little did she know, it sparked my love for engineering and invention!

**After 28-138 Polish the knight armor**

Maddie: This armor looks old… Were the Boultons from an old family of knights?! I always wanted to be a knight…

**After 28-144 Clean the dust and cobwebs**

Maddie: This grandfather clock looks like it’s in pretty bad shape… Hmm… Grandfather clock…. Charlie Clock? Maddie… your’s staring to lose it. (Probably missing text)

**After 28-170 Remove the carpet and the debris**

Maddie: It’s locked! I wonder what’s in there? Maybe there’s something to help me keep Victoria off my back?!

**After 28-189 Search the Clock**

Maddie: Wonder if this key opens the door upstairs (Note: this is not the exact text)

But in any case, this place is done! And it looks rather amazing, if I do say so myself!
