you’ll learn more about Jared eventuallyWhat, that he went on to become the
The Goblin King? (okay, so that was Jareth...)
So Julian's old house is haunted? By Sirens I suspect! Seriously, that was a good touch. IRL, no one wants to buy a house where someone was murdered. I doubt ES would be any different. It also leaves you a nice little thread for the future, as Julian could move back there some day. And now that I have finished the episode, I see that is exactly what you have in mind.
I love the descriptions of Castle Anvil, from the trees and flower trellises, to the lace swaying in the breeze. It definitely shows a woman's touch.
The Countess has some very interesting opinions on the Count of Cheydinhal. Such as that perhaps he murdered his wife perhaps? In any case, I loved how you tied the page Sendal into that situation.
