"Well, did she let us in?" Ulysses asked impatiently as the gatekeeper finished his phone call and returned to them.

"Yes, Mrs. Myers said you can go in," the gatekeeper replied, giving them a quick once-over. "Follow me."

As they walked, the gatekeeper added, "This place is big, so don't wander off. Stick to this path, and it'll take you to Mrs. Myers. But be careful not to touch anything—Mr. Myers won't be happy if you do. And don't run around. We've got quite a few animals here at Myers Manor, and you wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of one."

"Remember to apologize once we get there," Monty said, looking at Horatio and the others sternly. "We need her help now, so let's not tick her off again."

Horatio and the rest stayed silent, lost in their thoughts.

Monty, seeing the futility in nagging, soon fell quiet too.

They'd been walking for some time, but the further they went, the darker it seemed. The dense trees added an eerie touch, casting long shadows that swallowed the path.
