up after 150 years
buried in some trust somewhere.
sister who turns out to be
my great-great-aunt.
And you just discovered that?
Yep. I guess Victorian
paperwork was just not all
it was cracked up to be.
I see.
The only condition is that
the house is maintained
in its original state.
Listen, I gotta jump
on another call.
When you're done,
all I need to do
is get the executors
to check over your work.

I've always wondered
about this place.
You've been
talking to Donnelly?
I'd love to take a peek.
I'm sorry, we're not
open to the public.
