Dracula Episode 1.09 Four Roses

Recently, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Browning were abducted from their beds in the dark of night. Thus far, an exhaustive search of the greater London area has yielded neither results nor clues as to the whereabouts of the children. Nonetheless, Scotland Yard has devoted massive resources to the search, and it is only a matter of time before the Browning children are recovered.

Mr. Browning has assured the press that the children were discovered safely in the possession of his wife, but Mrs. Browning has yet to confirm the rumor, which is now believed to be a posturing by Mr. Browning in order to avoid a citywide panic.

Plans are currently under way, and Mr. Grayson is currently searching for a venue of an appropriate size and caliber in which to carry out the demonstration.
