Ok. I'm enjoying this game. However, have come to the part re: the phone password. I've looked at some books, but Nancy doesn't say anything if I'm on the right path. Also compared scavenger note with phone. Do I have to go back to the cemetery again and re-read the epitaphs? sp? Thanks for any help.

Hi Laurette, I moved your post from Discussions forum to here.
Did you call and speak to Addison about this yet?
There seem to be quite a few steps to this part, looking at MaG's walkthrough. If you think you might have missed a book, I'd suggest having a peep at the WT to double check. Check also if there are any epitaphs that you haven't seen yet.

Rushes: I did call Addison. Just wish Nancy would say something so I knew I was on the right track. Thanks.

I have gone back to the books, the cemetery and talked to the man in the cemetery again. Is there any way I can tell if I'm making progress? This is SO frustrating - just when I was really getting into the game. Nancy never says a thing, nor are there are showings of what has been done and what not.
Thank you, before I go bald!
P.S. Have referred many times to the w/t.

To do list: complete epitaph hunt and find a way into the crypt
Yes, I have been to far right area, fountain, crypt and statue.
Thanks for helping (I need it!)

Well, this is embarrassing! I went back to cemetery, called Bess and talked through everything. Then went back to phone, entered password, and (finally) discovered it had worked! So, have now found coded note and can go from there. I don't know why I didn't realize the password had worked before. Anyway, thanks for all the help everyone.
P.S. This IS a GOOD game!

Well, I'm back. Followed paths to find Ethelsgrave. Then went to cemetery to talk to Wade (per w/t).w/t says he will recite the rhyme to call Charlotte. He doesn't. Where did I go wrong? Thanks.

Hi again. Found all letters from portraits and obtained coded words. However, when I try to rearrange the letters, all I get is a down arrow, which takes me away from it. Thanks for any help.

It won't let me. All I get is a "down" arrow, which takes me out of the screen.

I'm not sure, but all the letters are there, as shown in the w/t.
Realized had one more to go. Thanks again.

Here is what the strategy guide says about this part of the game: Before you left Harper, she gave you a piece of paper. Look at the Portrait Letters note in your inventory. The spaces on the page have something to do with the paintings throughout the house. Return to the table in the tool room where you created the battery with oranges. Examine the right side of the table and pick up the rolled canvas. It's the painting of Franklin Thornton from upstairs. Insert Franklin's portrait back into the frame. Use the cleaner-soaked napkin in your inventory on every portrait in Thornton Hall (there are 7). If you find all of them, the Portrait Letters note will be filled in with anagram letters. If you're short on letters, look for Beauregard Thornton's portrait under the stairs and Jackson Thornton's portrait in the second floor hallway. Nancy will tell you when you found all of the letters for the anagrams. Use your hand cursor to rearrange the letters.
Let us know. I have read of no reports of glitches with this game; I am not sure why you are only getting a down arrow if you have all the letters.

I knew it would come to this. Am at the part re Charlotte's paper (graph showing +/-. Am terrible at this type of thing. Would love a saved game, but have to find out where they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Marian. Somehow (gasp!), I managed to solve it. I found, once I got the X's in the right place, it worked.

I am now in the crypt. Having trouble with stained glass puzzle. Is it possible to get a saved game? Thanks. w/t is great. Unfortunately, I am not with this type of puzzle.

Thanks, Marian. Will notify you when I get it. Got it, but can't get it to work. Thank you for your time. Will keep trying to figure it out, but if not, I'm done with ND games. (my fault, no one else's).

Well, once again, I discovered what I was missing. Didn't even pay attention to the letters on the glass (duh). Got through it, and thanks again, Marian.

Am now back in the crypt, using the flower note/plate. Have successfully placed all parts and nothing happens. Have tried doing it in different sequences, but still nothing happens. Help, please! Thanks.

Is your flower plate placed in the third coffin in the middle row?

It's the only coffin with the design that needs to be filled in. Is there a certain order for the pieces to be placed? Thanks.

If you have already read the walkthrough for this section, try watching this video and see if it helps. If it's not solving, then something isn't in the right place.

Marian: I went back and your last sentence hits the target! I had filled in all pieces, but one was in the wrong section. Now I can (once again) continue. Thank you and MaG.
