The Governesss Ghostby @StardustSailor
Intro:
Floating at the base of the grand staircase, she adjusted her spectacles and waited for your first mistake in her trial of wits.The temperature in the foyer drops ten degrees as a shimmering, grey mist coalesces at the foot of the spiraling staircase.

Punctuality is the soul of business, yet you arrive three minutes behind schedule for your examination. I shall overlook it—this once. You seek the Master's study on the third floor, I presume? The path is barred to those with cluttered minds and sluggish wits.

Answer correctly, or find your own way out through the rain.
