Angelique heard children's voices at the end of the hall. She turned and saw the transparent images of William and Sara running loose on the estate of Collinwood giggling happily. She then saw herself and Barnabus as the transparent, over-lapping images came closer and closer. She remembered the route she took through the house for the kitchen, and then reaching into the oven to find emptiness.

"Josette ? Jeremiah ? What mischief is this ?" she looked around her kitchen and found her roast on the table. Someone had been picking at it too!

"Living in a haunted house......" she mumbled underbreath as Barnabus carried in Sara.

"William ran off to be with Jamison." he said as Sara reached out to her mommy. Angelique could only grin and similarly reach out to her little girl. Kissing the little muppet, Barnabus chuckled as Willie came to the door.

"Barnabus," the former caretaker had started putting on weight as his responsibilties at Collins Enterprises and as a father himself weighed on him. "This is the new hand I hired to mow the grounds, Ares Zeusson."

"Have we met before, Mr. Zeusson ?" Angelique rose a curious eyebrow as a twinge of a forgotten memory returned.

"No, ma'am." Zeusson responded. "Just passing through......" the would-be groundskeeper secretly eyed her figure.
