House of Letters

Help! Help! Okay, we're gonna try and get you out.
What can you see back there? Nothing.
And I mean, nothing! There was a big flash of light.
And now my eyes don't work! Booby trap.
Help! Fabian, wait.
What's that? Press it.
Click! Come here.
Come here.
To those who've trespassed where they do not belong, The beacon of light is your warning song.
Your eyes shall not see.
All shall be dark.
Until ra completes his blazing arc.
Ra? The sun God.
He represents the suns arc from dawn to dusk.
So the blazing arc lasts one day? Whoa, back up.
I won't be able to see for a whole day? As in 24 hours? I have a beauty regime.
This doesn't just happen.
Now, you're sure you pulled the book.
With thoth on the spine? Yes, Fabian, I'm sure, On account of actually being able to see back then.
Well, there must be a way to shut that trap off.
There is.
Look.
Look! Uh, hello! Insensitive.
Amber, you said the amulets were for protection.
Right? Like maybe protection against booby traps? Hello.
Oh, sorry.
Can I help you? Evening.
I'm looking for Victor Rodenmaar.
I'm vera devenish, the new house mother.
So soon? I mean I'm Trudy.
The old one.
And this is Victor.
Victor, this is vera devenish.
I wanted to get here earlier, But I had trouble with the train.
Thud! It's stuffed.
Do you find that very strange? I know many people do.
Thank you, Trudy.
Oh.
Right.
I'll just Um, you have an interest in taxidermy? Oh, yes.
For me, it started with Dolores.
I was devastated when she passed away.
I couldn't bear to let her go.
So I didn't.
Do you know, I felt much the same about corbiere, my raven.
A raven? How lovely.
Well, I could introduce you to him later, If you'd like.
He really is quite, quite magnificent.
Oh, thank you.
I'd like that.
Would you care to Yes.
Ready? Here goes nothing.
The amulets worked.
Oh.
Sorry.
Ow! Maybe we should get Amber out of here.
Before she hurts herself.
- Okay.
- Or us.
- Whoa-ho-ho! Whoa.
The residents of anubis house.
This is vera devenish, your new house mother.
Please ensure that you are polite.
And respectful at all times If you possibly can.
Good morning, everyone.
Has Trudy started the library already? She left half an hour ago.
I can tell I've got big boots to fill.
But anything you need, just come to me.
Now, then, who's for blueberry pancakes? Amazeballs! She seems nice.
I think vera might give Trudy a run for her money.
Mick will be in the air by now.
Are you sure I've done the right thing? Yes, you've done the right thing.
It was very unselfish.
We're here for you, really.
What she said.
But louder and faster.
It's nice to see my food being appreciated.
Wow.
Thank you.
Bright Discerning.
Scrambles my eggs just so.
Mm! Okay, careful.
Slow.
And the sun is where exactly? Um, allergies.
She had a reaction to her face mask.
Yeah.
Yeah, they must contain Raspberries.
Right.
Right.
Raspberries.
They're like her kryptonite.
Hold on.
I'll just go and get.
No, no, no, fuss.
All I have left is my dignity.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Um, that happens all the time.
Dude.
Amber.
Amber.
Good morning.
Oh, what? So a girl can't sit on her friend's knee anymore? Oh.
Oh, butterfingers.
Who put me in charge of priceless exhibits, eh? I see Jasper's keeping Trudy very busy.
The new house mother will have a hard job measuring up.
Victor can't praise vera highly enough.
It's a great relief, really.
I didn't have much choice with only one applicant.
What about all other applicants we have on file? I put them on your desk myself.
Oh, no, definitely only saw one applicant.
It was obviously meant to be.
I promised poppy a p.
I.
A p.
I.
She must have.
Have you found anyone yet? I've made a short list, but, uh I'm meeting one of them this afternoon.
- See? - What? You do care about your sister.
Deep down.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I just have a reputation to preserve.
That's all.
I get things done, And I never, ever compromise.
So which p.
I.
Are you meeting? The cheapest.
Ah, Joy.
A word.
Um, I'm worried about your schooling.
Thanks to your, um, absence.
During last year's unfortunate interruption4.
You have fallen a little behind.
Hmm.
That kind of was your fault, Mrs.
Andrews.
Nevertheless, I want you to have a tutoring partner.
What, a study buddy? Do I get to choose who it is? I'd have never offered to carry this.
If I'd have known it was so heavy.
Do you really need all this stuff, Amber? Fabian, I hate to play victim, But seeing as I heroically took one for the team, It's just too heavy.
One whole day of this.
Time's never gone so slow.
Pete roper, private eye.
Hi.
You weren't exactly what I was expecting.
No? Big hair, bad attitude.
You're exactly what I was expecting.
So You've lost someone.
Careless.
Are you even a real private investigator? Rule one: Don't question me.
Don't question my methods.
That's two rules.
Yeah.
Rule three: Don't answer back.
Are you making these rules up as you go along? Rule four: Refer to rule one.
Now, Do you want me to find your lost property or not? I guess.
Are you sure there are no creases in this? Look, I feel a crease.
Is this a crease? What? The darkness of her eyes must not delay you.
Please don't.
Please don't what? Don't.
Don't change that top.
It looks lovely.
Find it Or pay the consequences.
Have you opened a window? It's freezing.
Actually, I need some fresh air.
Come with me.
So How's the new house mother, Victor? Is she nice? Don't want you getting over me just like that.
A most impressive woman.
Sophisticated, intelligent, mannered.
Already over me then.
Uh, if you'll excuse us one moment, Victor.
Trudy, let's get that box over to the West corner.
Of course, Jasper.
I'm in.
This place is amazing.
I wonder how far it goes.
Um So we've got a door but no key.
And a pedastal with nothing on it.
And a bookcase full of books.
Now what? The bookcase is marked with thoth, The God of knowledge.
And we get knowledge from books.
Look at this.
R-e-b-t-r-o.
Rebtro.
I don't get it.
It's an anagram For Robert.
So it's not what's in the books.
It's what's on them.
We need to spell his full name.
- And "robert frobisher-smythe" is definitely a full name.
Okay.
So we're just missing "frobisher.
" That's nine books missing.
Where could they be? Frobisher library? Okay.
Let's nail this spelling bee.
Oh, no, we're late for Mrs.
Andrews.
We need to go.
- Wait.
Wait.
- Hello? It's Victor.
What? He's right there.
Victor? What an impressive cellar.
What are they doing? Flirting.
I think I just heard Victor chuckle.
Aw, maybe he's in love.
Eww.
Okay, bad idea coming down here before breakfast.
So how's your gran doing? Good.
I got a postcard of big Ben today.
She told me to ask you how the poetry's going.
Uh, well, not so good.
The timepiece, child.
Watch the timepiece.
Was that her? Yeah.
It feels like she's always watching.
Ah.
Uh, homework in by next Friday.
Fancy a trip into town, dude? Alfie, no! You can't leave me all alone Not when I'm like this.
Sorry, no can do, buddy.
Would you Jerome makes a rude gesture.
And you let him get away with it, Alfie? You can see? It's a sixth sense.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry we're late.
You're not just late.
Class finished five minutes ago.
Detention Friday, both of you.
No.
Book search? Frobisher library? Oh, my.
Creak! Who's there? Come down here immediately.
Hey, Trudy.
What's the matter? I swear, I was only gone for two minutes.
I just went to get my cleaning things.
And when I got back They've all been opened.
What's Jasper going to say? And I think the intruder's still here, Up on the mezzanine.
What were you going to do? Dust them to death? Do you have a key? Let's lock them in here.
And go get help.
You said you had some good news for me? Mm.
That's right.
Pretty easy to track down in the end.
- Really? - Yeah.
Got the address, hung around, rifled through the trash.
Some pretty juicy stuff in there.
Oh.
Careful with that one.
Hmm.
It's got Cat food on it.
At least, uh I think it's Cat food.
Now, here's the address.
And that's her photo.
That Is my mother.
I know where she lives.
Because oh, yeah, I live there too.
So why did you ask me to find her? I didn't.
Well, here's the piece of paper you gave me.
Look.
"joan Clarke.
" "john.
" It says "john Clarke.
" That's never an "h.
" You're fired.
Hold on, son.
Not so fast.
Fire me if you like.
But you still have to pay your bill.
Slap! You've got 48 hours.
The book is not there.
Someone has sent me on a fool's errand, corbiere.
But who? Hmm? No.
Mr.
Sweet searched the whole place.
Everything's still in here, I think.
I found another one.
Oh, great.
That makes eight.
What's that? It's a lending ledger.
It dates right back to the '6os.
If someone took it out back then.
And didn't return it, then Big late fee.
We'll never find it then.
Right yeah.
Fables of Egypt, volume 7.
It was taken out.
No! Not long ago.
Someone called Da bed? Is that some quirky british name I haven't heard of before? I don't think so.
Well, maybe it's a code.
Okay.
So how do we find out who da bed is? Jasper's on his way.
I hope, for my sake, everything's still in here.
Let's go.
Poor ams.
Must be awful not being able to read.
What all the celebs are up to.
I know.
I feel really behind.
Shall I read it for you? Thanks, Alfie.
Oh! No way! What? No, there's no way those two are dating.
- Who? - Incredible! Incredible? Forget that.
Those shoes and that dress? No, no, no.
Okay, when did you get your sight back? This morning.
