Episode 91: Episode 23: Trip My Wire - a podcast by Daryl Wor

Milligan and Hecubus appear to discourse their usual updates and introduction.

Amy and David enter the Collinwood breakfast room in which David’s father, Roger, responds to their questions very distractedly. Mrs. Johnson has more to serve along with some sage words.

Prior to her governess role, Maggie stops at home in the Evans Cottage to inquire for help from Captain Gregg via her father, Sam.

Cousin Lily tests a theory with her cousin, Elizabeth Stoddard, on the RMS Queen Elizabeth, in which they play “Kings In The Corner” with the ghost of Bill Malloy. Much repartee ensues.

As Sam continues painting his still-life, Maggie enters relaying one personal problem and the two continue to request Captain Gregg in order to discover what he’s observed. Captain Gregg is well informed, if a little agitated, leaving Maggie in want of warning Roger Collins about an upcoming danger to his person.

Wadsworth interrupts the thankful Willie as he is calligraphically scripting pangrams. Between shared updates, Wadsworth manages to proffer old assurances they’d agreed upon, including the trousers replacement he promised Willie Loomis. Since Wadsworth has recently visited Wyndcliff with Barnabas, he has further information about Nurse Jackson to bestow, which catches Willie’s interest further.

After Milligan and Hecubus cascade the endless soap operas of the 1960’s, Maggie goes to warn Roger Collins about his upcoming doom, to which Roger manages to be very accommodating about. 

Onward and upward at Professor Stokes house, we meet with said Professor Stokes and Dr. Hoffman, after their night at Collinwood, and reliving their past lives to the best of their abilities. When impatience arrives due to continual changes, our collegiate couple decides it is time to consult a medium.  Suggestions of romance occur. (The doctor agrees to remain the night if the professor contacts Madam Findley.) Arrangements are made, including Julia staying the night within Elliot’s abode. 

Roger receives the delirious pointers to his own demise upon the stairwell and takes a trusty pistol toward this endeavour, only to decide on an old fashioned method of sliding down the stairs to accompany his decision. As he trundles forward, Maggie wonders if he is dead and Roger reassures her that he is fine and she plays it up.  (Much fuss continues from there…)
