Rodney Stone
Authorship not stated
You are Roddy, working the forge with Boy Jim and his uncle Champion Harrison when a lord's coach passes too fast and too close, and the guinea tossed as apology lands refused in the mud. That night Jim dares you into Cliffe Royal, the shuttered house where Lord Avon's brother was murdered years ago, and you watch a figure descend the stairs and vanish straight into solid paneling. Fleeing, you meet Harrison on some secret errand, just as your uncle, Sir Charles Tregellis, is due tomorrow already asking about the very house.
