# Room 67: The Parlor
|
|
|
|
A dusty, dilapidated parlor in the haunted cottage. The room contains a bookshelf with a single Shakespeare book, a painting above the fireplace that hides a secret latch, and various old furniture. This is where Rosella can discover the secret passage to the crypt.
|
|
|
|
## Look Description
|
|
|
|
"Considering the disarray of the rest of the house, the parlor looks in relatively good order. However, the fireplace is cold and unused, the bookshelves are almost bare, and the old furnishings are dusty."
