Evelyn ch 1 theough 17

 Ch 1: couple running in the woods.  The woman is killed, the Man gets snuck up on.  He's pretty sure he's dead. But he's not.  The sneaker puts a compass in his pocket and says head east.


Ch 2 the running man is named Sébastien. He makes his way to his house and some unnamed man takes care of him.  Assuming this is some sort of nobleman as there's also mention that there's servants and this man isn't mentioned in that.

Ch 3 appearantly the name of the other guy is Daniel.  He called a doctor.  The doctor has seen a few memory loss cases in his time.  Mostly in the war.  Memory usually comes back Ina few days whether you like it or not.  Sébastien f8nds an invitation to Evelyn's party addressed to Dr Sébastien.   He doesnt feel like a Sébastien or a doctor.  Also, h3 sees a painting of monster.  Oh wait that's a mirror.  He's ugly and is disappointed. 

Ch 4 There's lots of people at this house.  This is evelyn's house and DAniel is her brother.  sebastien is trying to solve the puzzle of his identity but he's coming up blank.  There's TONS of people here and sebastien doens't recognize any of them.  there's a guy that claims to be his best friend.  I forgot his name.  Daneiel says they won't be having a search party, but "the boys" are going out hunting and they'll try to find this Anna that was murdered.

ch 5 Sebastien has a run in with a run in with a guy wearing a plague mask and he's all beware the footman.  Then he goes tot he stables and finds a note from saying don't leave Blackheath (that's what this place is called) cause lives depend on it.  It's signed by Anna.  He's now decided he needs to be at the graveyard at 10:30.

ch 6 sebastian meets evelyn.  She decides to help him out with his investigation into Anna cause she's smart and this place is boring so doing a bit of detectiving seems like as good a thing to do as anything else.  the go to talk to the butler, but he's out cold cause he was attacked by a guy with a fire place poker last night.  One of the maids is lookin at sebastian and he's like "I know you?" and she's like "nah, but i served you dinner last night" and he's all "you bring me a note" and she's like "nah but I know who did"  and evelyn is like, ooh, that's my maid, she's bringing refreshemnts to the hunters.  So we're gonna go into the woods and find her.

ch 7 they head out into the woods.  As they're walking around evelyn is all "you're so different" and he's all tell me everything and she's all you were  a dope dealer.  You sell lognum to rich people.  He doesn't love this and goes back to the house and his room and smashes open his chest and it's empty except for a chess piece with Anna carved into it.

ch 8 Sébastien gives an excuse to not attend the party.   Sneaks out to the graveyard.  Evelyn is waiting for him on the way.  She's got a gun.  They don't find Anna but they find a lantern and blood.  They go back to the house and Sébastien finds a box with a dead rabbit in it with a note from the footman.

Ch 9 this chapter is WILD!!!  Narrator wakes up and he's in a different room.  Apparently in the basement cause the only stairs go up.  He makes his way to the front door and is confronted by himself.  He doesn't say anything. He's pretty much in shock.  Someone that knows him finds him.  He's the butler and it's yesterday again.  He's running around and collides with one of these nobles and the man beats him real bad with the fire poker, just like happened yesterday. 

Ch 10 narrator wakes up and he's someone else and it's 3 am.  Plague doctor is there to tell him what's what.  He's got 8 days to solve a murder.   Every day he'll be in another body. He does the sanest thing and tries to run away.  He goes to the stables and the stable master gives him a car and directions to the  village.   It doesn't work. Plague doctor tells him the house won't just let him leave without solving the mystery. 

Ch 11 Today Narrator is a very very very very very fat man named Lord Ravencourt.  He's gonna meet with lady hardcastle today.

ch 12 Lord Ravencourt is very very very fat.  So fat that he can't get out of a bathtub himself and can barely walk.  He goes to the library and writes a notes to the other body jumpers and puts it in the encyclopedia hoping one of them will find it and write back.  he's sick of Lord Ravencourt's fat fat fat body and decides to take a nap hoping to wake up as someone else.

ch 13 HE DOES!!!  This time he's back in the Butler's body.  There's a lady that explains the rules of the video game.  He lives a full day in every body.  Every time he goes to sleep he'll wake up in the previous life he went to sleep in.  In this case, he jumps from Lord Ravencourt into the butler.

ch 14 he's back in lord ravencoirt and Daniel is there to tell him he's also a body jumper and so is Anna.  The footman is kind of a body jumper in that he seems to know who's who and always seems to win but he doesn't jump bodies he's just himself Iverson and over again.  He tells his servant to go to the dinning room and writes him a note he's to read after.  He says we're about to have a weird day and he's gonna need him to trust him.  He tries to talk to evelyn.  She's not having it.  She HATES lord ravencourt.  She's all "if you beat me at chess I'll talk to you fur reelz" He's the fat guy losing at chess that he saw on day 1.  But mostly he's losing at that point to extricate himself from the current situation.   Evelyn knows her life is in danger but seems to be ok with it.  She'd rather die with her secrets I guess.

Ch 15 narrator tells ravencourts footman that hes not revencourt and being in ravencourts body is not conducive to running around and doing shenhannegans.   So he tells him a number of things to do.  As he's walking to prepare for his meeting with lady hardcastle he starts hearing noises abd the he hears a voice say "we'll meet soon little rabbit."

Ch 16 narrator finds the maid that the Nobel that used to be a servant here was mean to.  They chat about it and she seems to feel much better.  He tells her to tell evelyns maid that he needs to speak with her and they will both be rewarded.  He's tired after all the walking and talking and sits down.  A woman hands him a glass of iced liquid.  She tells him she's Anna and to stop looking for her.  The footman is also looking for her and so the both of them looking for her is problematic.   Aiden bishop is the name she remembers from waking up.  Perhaps that's his name.

Ch 17 narrator meets Millicent Derby, who calls him Cecil. They are both wonder where lady hardcastle is as both of them had appointments that she didn't shownup to.  They hear a noise from lady hardcastles room and go to investigate.   The door has been broken into and her guns are missing and todays page of her day planner.
