Davidson was now master of the house, with Mrs. Woodson dead, Mr. Woodson missing, and Elizabeth out cavorting with Bobby. There had been a whole secret ceremony with Jeeves officiating, making him recite the Sacred Woodson Oath. He had skipped a syllable, and Jeeves almost had to kill him for violating the Sacred Woodson Oath, but everything had worked out. He was sitting in the arumbulatory, doing whatever one does in such a room, when Jeeves walked up to him.
"Master Davidson, I do believe that it is high time that you learned what it means to be a Woodson."
"What?" said Davidson.
"Please follow me Sir."
Davidson followed Jeeves to the fireplace. Jeeves pressed a lever and the fireplace opened, revealing a winding set of stairs. They entered, and suddenly the stairs started spinning, transporting Davidson and Jeeves down itself until they got to a door at the bottom. They stepped out onto the beach beneath the cliff from which Davidson Manor hung.
"Where are we? Why are we at the beach," said Davidson with stupidity.
Jeeves' eyes lit up in a disturbing manner. "But Master Davidson," he said, "this is home....."
Gornibas summoned Mr. Woodson.
"Clean this up. Now," he said. He pointed to the mess on the ground.
"Yes Master," replied Mr. Woodson.
"Now who could have done this? Who would send me a fake vampire hunter on Halloween? But of course! Only one person....My american cousin Barney!"
Another vampire sprang out of a coffin.
"Barney," asked Gornibas, "What are you doing here?"
Barney said, "You didn't think I'd miss another Halloween, did you?"
"Of course not."
"Well...? Let's have par-tay!"
