In the Manor

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Roland was walking along one of the hallways, ever so often knocking on one of the walls, or the floor with his cane.

"I can smell them." Amanda said, sounding quite matter of fact "Or I could, if there were any."

"An inaccuracy,if you will.

It takes two and half paces more to cross this wing from the outside than from the inside.

"And since British logic would require it to be bigger on the inside, you suspect a hidden passage." Amanda replied "Sensible"

"Smaller on the inside. It is smaller on the inside. If it was larger on the inside, there'd be more paces indoors."
