Alone I am hounded by memories.
…I beg you to open your eyes.
Why won’t you open your eyes?
Even if I’m a creature that has no right to live…
Alan, please wake up!
Could the rain be the cause?
Edgar! Edgar!
Even if it was a mistake to bring you to this…
I can’t bear to be alone.
if the rain would stop…
Marybelle, too, was always weakened by water.
This dampness?
This heavy, cloying dampness? is this what keeps Alan from waking?
if it would just stop…
A blue-eyed boy Henry happened to fish out of the river said his name was Edgar.
Later, a girl named Marybelle appeared, and they vanished together.
The doctor looked into Evans’ will and the Evans’ family line.
And so, remembering the will, Henry cared for the boy.
But Dodd records that during his stay, Edgar sucked the blood of a boy named Ernest.
Dodd wrote that he believed the two to be vampirnella.
When Henry was Earl, Edgar made an appearance. January, eighteentwenty.
The events were recorded by this Doctor Dodd, who was staying at the manor.
it’s just an old fable, Charlotte !
Sucked his blood!?
Their names were Edgar and Marybelle.
They were said to have died in infancy.
Later, the family adopted a girl of thirteen, named Marybelle. But she, too, soon died.
Oswald, who wrote the will, had halfsiblings by another mother.
the sea of time
Precisely. it made no sense. However
who would
cross
in his will, Oswald had prophesied, three hundred years ago… That one day his descendants would meet this “Edgar” and “Marybelle”…
Vampirnella indeed!
But it’s just an old fable!
He had another brother, named Eustace … …but he, too, died young.
Gracious
See? it’s just a fairy tale. Nothing makes sense.
Henry, Earl Evans, actually met Edgar.
…they certainly have some valuable pieces.
Steps to the roof!
Henry, Roger-- have either of you seen my hat?
I will. Bye now.
Be sure to lock the doors!
For humble antique dealers…
We’ve come across a real find. We’ll be back by eleven.
You’re going out?
No, but I’ll help you look for it when I get back.
