week 1 - trial

[productions]

week one trial



[At 9 AM precisely, the old grandfather clock chimes once again, and the doors to the drawing room are opened. They will remain open until everyone has come inside, after which they will shut behind them. It is not possible to leave on your own, although perhaps if you have a specific purpose the hostess will allow you to go. The room is set up comfortably, with several tables by the fireplace set out to assist with the trial. The Hostess will also remain in a seat near the fireplace, next to the scales on the mantle. At lunch, the doors will open to bring in a large meal on an automatically rolling buffet, and at 3 PM, tea and finger sandwiches will be served. You'll be able to enjoy the trial in comfort, of course, but the information cards set out on tables will not allow you to forget your true purpose here.]

[During the brief stint she worked in the stead of her grandfather, Susan had dealt with a few drownings. But never any like this.]

The human body will do incredible things to survive. But if chloroform also has a paralytic effect, it wouldn't be of any consequence. It's a good point, but I don't think I'm the right person to ask.

I do know, though, that the throat tends to close in response to the intake of water into the lungs. It wouldn't take much water at all.
