A Rather Unusual Party
In contrast to the green room, Lorrie and Tara describe the peach room as feeling warm and comforting. All four women spent the night huddled in the peach room.
As they tried to sleep they heard the sound of bees swarming above them. When they looked up from their bed, they saw that a mist had formed overhead. It was cool to the touch. After a while it vanished.
During the night, they heard a car coming up the gravel driveway. Then more cars. Sounds drifted up from the first floor. Music started playing. Voices. The smell of cherry cigar smoke.
Lorrie and Tara crept down the stairs. From behind the locked door of one of the two downstairs parlors came the sound of a party.
Because of the valuables left in the house, when the staff leaves for the night they lock the parlors.
Clearly though, there was something going on behind that locked door in the middle of the night.

"I tried to break in," Tara said, "but I couldn't get in."
The two women went back upstairs to the peach room. Later, the noises subsided. They again heard cars on the gravel driveway, this time leaving.
An unstill quiet descended over the house.
