In which the company seeks shelter from a tempestuous night at the venerable Monkbarns, where ancient stories mingle with the legend of a haunted chamber whose eerie reputation deters even the most robust guests. The Antiquary, with a scholarly air and gentle wit, unravels the tale of a spectral ancestor whose midnight appearance once led to the miraculous discovery of a long-lost deed, all while preparing his newer companion for a night in the mystic Green Room.
