Aw thank you! They are connected to other stories in that AU, yes.

The hair rufffling is something I actually did to a friend of mine and then stole for my story. That, happens kind of a lot...

I think old ladies do go on those kind of tours yes, on couches. They come round where I used to live sometimes. I think that is one of the creepiest Agatha Christies...

Thank you again!
