A quaint manor that sits in the rolling hills. It is surrounded by a small stone fence and looks quite inviting to passersby. It looks like any other home that a well off business man would own.

wealthy bookshop owner
I am a wealthy bookshop owner in the village. I buy and sell rare books from across the world. My book collection is expensive and it requires a guard at all times.
My son, I think there is an intruder in our manor tonight. Quick, take this candle and look around. an intruder? What makes you say that? I heard a noise in the library. It sounded very ominous. They may be trying to steal the forbidden text we recently acquired. Who knows what could happen if it falls into evil hands. if that is so, we cannot leave a baby unattended You dunce! This book is more important than any baby! what is wrong with you?! how can a musty old book be more precious than any human life, let alone an innocent baby? This book contains instructions on how to bring about the apocalypse. If they discover it, then millions of babies will die, including this one. well then maybe you should go and find it, seeing as you couldn't seem to protect it in the first place! I am not leaving this child in danger I am a fragile old man! You are young and strong. They must have already killed our guard if they are still here. Make your way through the garden and you can surprise them. It is our only chance. i don't know how i can make it any more clear to you. I don't trust you. I am not leaving an innocent child here with you, or unattended with a possible intruder lurking about Look, I will protect the child as long as you get the intruder. I promise. and why should i trust you? You've already attacked me for even suggesting that a baby should be protected
