Death At St. Asprey’s School (1967)
“Asprey’s School Chapter Six That night Carolus was himself witness to one of those nocturnal incidents which had disturbed the peace of St. Asprey’s.
He had learned by now the lay-out of the whole place with its architectural anomalies. The main part of the big house was occupied on its ground floor with class-rooms, the big school-room, dining-room and wash-rooms; on its first floor were the main dormitories and Matron’s room, while the third floor, formerly the servants’ sleeping quarters, now provided small bedrooms in which some of the senior boys slept three to a room.
On one side of this central block was the ‘private part’ of the establishment—drawing-room and headmaster’s study on the ground floor; bedrooms for the Sconers, Parker, Mollie Westerly and the spare room, occupied by Carolus on the first floor. There was no second floor.
On the other side of the main block was a bungalow in which were bedrooms for the staff and the staff common-room.
On the ground floor were ways t...hrough to all three parts of the building.MoreLess
