Line 14:
== Tropes ==
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The [[Extra-Strength Masquerade]] that Edward Grove enforces on the servants causes them to overfocus on details.
{{quote| '''Doctor''' (about the unseen heads of the house): If you've ''seen'' them, you know what they look like! If they're ''human'', describe your masters! Old, young, short, tall, with glasses, without, bearded, clean shaven? Or else you're servants with no one to serve!<br />
'''Mary''': I'm pretty sure Her Ladyship doesn't have a beard... }}
* [[A Bloody Mess]]: A rare audio-only example: The Doctor and Charley mistake spilled jelly for blood.
Line 21:
* [[Christmas Episode]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Played for both dark humour and drama - as the Doctor begins to realise that the house isn't quite ''normal'', he treats any occurrence with a sort of dark acceptance.
{{quote| '''Doctor''': Yes, of course, Mrs Baddeley. [[Sarcasm Mode|It’s quite clear]] that Frederick brought the car into the house, ran himself over with it, and put it back outside before he finally expired.}}
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Charley is nearly convinced to kill herself by {{spoiler|Edith.}} {{spoiler|Edith herself was driven to suicide by the news of Charley's death.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Genius Loci]]: ''"Edward Grove '''LIVES'''"''}}.
