These were the words spoken by Jason Ashgrove who unraveled the mystery of Grimes Building.
Jason Ashgrove was a new copywriter of Moreton Wold and Company in Clerkenwell, London. There was a directorial policy restricting employees to stay inside the building after five o’clock. He was disturbed by this odd policy so he asked Berenice Golden, the secretary. Miss Golden did not provide him with much information.
Jason desired to find out the mystery and came face to face with an experience that almost led to his death.
The next day, Miss Golden noticed Jason’s strange appearance and asked him if he met Heron. Jason took the opportunity to ask Miss Golden for telling him the mystery.
“Heron was a night watchman who fell in love with Miss Bell. She was known to play a harp in Room 492 which she rented out. On the eve of Halloween, Heron and Miss Bell agreed to meet up. She had an alarm-waking fixture attached to her telephone to wake her up. Unluckily, on that day that Heron rode on his bicycle bringing a bottle of wine and a bouquet of roses waiting for Miss Bell so he could propose to her, the alarm-waking fixture did not operate. Heron who thought that Miss Bell betrayed him leaped to death from fire escape of the building. Miss Bell died a few days later. They became ghosts haunting Grimes Building at night time.” Berenice Golden retold the story.
Jason wanted to help the ghosts by meeting up with them and letting them fulfill their love. He and Miss Golden planned to re-enact the scene that took place a long time ago by sneaking inside the Grimes Building. Miss Golden called up the Room 492 and it was answered, then Jason announced on the intercom that the night watchman should hurry to Room 492. They witnessed with their own eyes a bicycle bearing on its saddle a harp, a bottle of wine, and a bouquet of red roses sweeping down the corridor.
On Halloween Day, Jason Ashgrove kissed Berenice Golden as he descended from the Grimes Building with a parachute. Jason’s desperate action solved the Grimes Building mystery “The Heron and Miss Bell Tragic Love” and gave birth to “Jason and Miss Golden Love Story”.
