Trolley Ride

How hard can it be to buy a haunted house ?

Daniel was busy on a case, and Brenda wanted to go inside the Blundon house as soon as possible. She made an appointment with Miss Davis, and hopped the trolley to Hyattsville.

Brenda listened as Miss Davis covered the history of the house all the way back to Mr. Blundon. She touched on the basics relating to the train accidents, and mentioned Mount Olivet Cemetery. Anything past that bit of information, and Brenda would have to quizz Mr. Fairfield Perry Griffin "who knows everything related to the Edwardian inhabitants from so many years ago. dates, times, events, and eye colors."

Brenda smiled when Miss Davis told her that the asking price on the house was 24 thousand dollars with deed restrictions and stewardship clauses. Mr Griffin would have the final say on who bought it because he wants "no riff raff" in the town.

Brenda promised to contact Mr. Griffin and arrange to see inside the big old house. She took the trolley back home with a bag full of groceries, and hoped that Daniel would call. But he didn't. A freight train rumbled by as she cooked her supper.
