Rule of Rose Mysteries

Now we take Jennifer to the left from the front gate, following the wall. As she rounds the corner, we are shown the location-text: “Fence Road”.

As Jennifer travels along Fence Road, alongside the wall, the heads of three orphans are peeking over the wall. As she nears each one, that orphan giggles and the head disappears behind the wall. These three orphans are (it appears to me), in order: Thomas, Susan, and Meg.

Jennifer once again rounds a corner of the wall, and she now arrives at the side gate.

Pressing “x” at the gate, Jennifer tries the door but can’t open it. We are shown a view of the sign over a slot in the wall. The sign says: “NO ONE ALOUD WITHOUT A PASS”. We are, at the same time, shown a subtitle which says: “NO ONE ALLOWED WITHOUT A PASS”. Pressing “x” at the slot itself shows us a different view of the slot and the sign, with the same subtitle.

The orphans are using the slot in the wall as a place to present a pass. But for what purpose was the slot built? I propose that it is a mail slot. And I think that this is an important identification to make. The easy accessibility of mail, at the place where mail is left, is important to a theory that I have regarding Martha’s “disappearance” ( I think she was murdered by the orphans). See my blog-post: “The Mystery of Martha’s Letter“.

If we had taken Jennifer to the side gate the first time that we came to the mansion (when we bypassed the rickety shed) everything would have occurred the same way except that we would be hearing Brown’s whimpering the whole time until we return to the rickety shed. And if we see the three orphans peering over the wall the first time through, we will not see them again when we return to the side gate with the boarding pass and Brown’s collar.

Using the boarding pass, the gate gets opened, and we see Xavier running away to the right laughing. We will not follow him right away, however, because we want to see everything in this walk-through and there are some things to be seen for which we will never get another opportunity if we don’t see them now. But we will do that in part 7 in this series.

Before that, lets talk a little about the use of the boarding pass. I will address that topic in part 6b of this series.
