What's happening at Kensington Manor? Join me, Mr. Peabody, Mrs. Kensington's favorite boarder, confidant, and self-appointed envoy, as I attempt to unravel the duality of mystery that consumes my hostess and lady-of-the-house. Mrs. Kensington, widowed since the turn of the century, gravitates toward the kindness of strangers to remediate her loneliness as she opens her Manor house for boarding. The garden district New Orleans mansion is soon filled with travelers and displaced individuals from far and near eager to reside within the once lavish residence. As Mrs. Kensington’s health and home continue to fall further into decline. Questions arise: Who’s gonna care for Mrs. Kensington when she can no longer care for herself? What happened to her husband? Was he murdered? If so, who murdered Mr. Kensington? Where was the gold fortune allegedly in his possession prior to his death? Did the fortune of gold exist at all? Does it remain housed within the safe behind the portrait that hangs on the wall just above the mantle in the grand dining hall there in the manor house on the Kensingston estate? This is the basis of my investigation as I search for clues, evidence, and suspects in an attempt to solve the mystery of ‘Schrodinger’s Gold.’
