Welcome back to Myths & Mischief! This is your Lovable Lord of Lore, today’s mischievous myth is the fifth installment of the tale of the death of America’s master of the macabre, Edgar Allen Poe.
This is the 5th part of a short story that gives a possible explanation of famous author Edgar Allen Poe’s demise.
When Thompson and Wilson arrived at Sarah Elmira Royster’s Philadelphia estate, she denied their request for entry. Through her house servant she gave them a note vehemently denying ever having been engaged to Poe, and that she wished to be left alone.
As the two inspectors turned away from the estate, they were dumbfounded.
“I didn’t expect that.” said Wilson, shaking his head. “If she was not involved with Poe, what would trigger that kind of response?”
“We need to know more before we can impose on her a request for an audience. Right now, we are just asking questions, but if we have an angle, we might be able to gain access to her. We should return to Baltimore to see what’s what.”
“It will be nice to be back home.” agreed Wilson.
That’s it for today’s installment, this is your Lord of the Lore signing off.
