EXTRACT FOR
The Curse Of Albrecht Manor
(Christopher Newman)

"I hear what you are saying and acknowledge it. But Mr. Ravenswood, you have to understand," Baron Albrecht said as he sipped at his coffee. "I had almost exhausted all my avenues when I hit upon your name. I'm sorry it's such short notice, but short notice it is, and I feel it's my privilege to get a clear understanding of what I've purchased."



"You have acquired my services. Services, I might add, which are as unique as they are intangible. Elsa might be beyond my efforts already. But only time will tell if I can change the course of this hex."



"I, sir, do not waste capital on anything of poor quality," Baron Albrecht stated in a strong, firm voice. "Your tone smacks of defeat, and you have yet to engage the enemy!"



"I don't believe in crowing about my success before I start, that's all!"



"I see Noah is being his usual charming self." Sarah's voice interrupted the discussion that was quickly degenerating into an argument.



"Good morning, Sarah," Noah said with a heavy sigh, one that sounded distinctly like "about time." "Baron Albrecht, may I introduce my assistant Dr. Sarah Bookings? Sarah has a Doctorate from Cleveland State in Business and a Bachelor's Degree in Religion, particularly in the field of Occult studies. Sarah, this is Baron Markus Albrecht, our host and employer."



"Good morning, Baron," Sarah said, with a tiny hint of a blush.
