  I can really visualize Mrs. Sykes's voice. I love how strong the characters are right from the bat!

  ["Rather cruel to put a gorilla in a suit."]

  
  

  Whaddya mean? That's why they call it a monkey suit!

  I'm getting a real Granny Goodness vibe from Mrs. Sykes.

  
  

  Wait, "Mrs."!? I read that as "Miss" all the way until I typed it out! Who's Mr. Sykes?

    She's Bill Sykes's mum. You know, Dickens's Bill, him as kilt Nancy. There was no Mister. Never is. Lucky one, to get a steady job where they appreciate her talents.

      "Sugarplum maids." "Tough cookie." "Sweetmeats." I'm noticing a pattern, here.

      
      

      And yeah. If there ever was a Mister, he's long gone.

  "As though nature had intended to make a gorilla, and had changed its mind at the last moment." It's Roderick Spode, only without the charm.

  Perhaps the hotel also steals any gluttons that come to stay, to be the diners at the banquet.

  His suit! The buttons. Like, they're straining and about to pop off at any second.

  Always so many awesome little details. And characters. And just.. everything, really. I'd love to see these stories get turned into some kind of animated cartoons or something. They'd be the kind of childhood favorites that you end up loving even more when you're an adult.

  She is about the only one who looks delighted to be here.

  Note how she doesn't refer to the butler by name, just calls him 'The Butler'...I wonder why? shifty eyes

  You'd think a supernaturally creature would have been able to supernaturally obtain a waistcoat and sport jacket in his size...
