It was spiteful to think so, maybe, but not unfair. Never unfair. Dr. Kenneth Strand was the richest man on Ferris Island, likely richer than most on the mainland, too. Generational wealth, deep and unyielding. He could provide for any woman’s desires.
You described the house he lived in as: a grand place, but Kenneth could not help but notice the fading wallpaper, the cobwebs his old housekeeper couldn’t reach, the increasing dust, and the smell of must and mildew coming from somewhere—he did not know where.
That all speaks of a man who doesn't pay attention to or try to fix the defects of his vast house.
If a man won't take care of his house, why would he take care of a woman?
After a week of begging the spirits, he shows his depravity with a life and begs for a woman to be made captive to his desires.
So much for the upstanding doctor.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next part. I foresee something very grisly happening.

Ok S.E., you've got me...again!
So good!! Can’t wait to read what happens!
Terrific story!
Poor Old Putnam! Good story, though. I'm curious how it will turn out.
Absolutely loving this!
