Mrs Prater "above": peeping ?

[Bridewell]

Floorboards

Oh dear Gene...here goes, once again, the old controversy of where Ms Prater's room actually was...personally my own previously firm belief in her residence at the rear of the house has slightly shifted, and I believe that whilst homebound she mounted the steps adjacent to MJKs dodgy partition (in which there were undoubtedly gaps) there genuinely are valid doubts as to whether her room was at the front of the house or the back...either way, I don't suppose she could see down between the floorboards...

All the best

Hi Dave,

Could she see down between the floorboards? Whether she could or couldn't, it would be a strange pastime to pursue in the small hours of the morning, I would have thought.

Regards, Colin.

May be this is an old tarte à la creme, but did anyone ever discuss of a possible peeping through the wooden floor down in n°13 ? Actually, is it possible that Mrs Prater saw more than she told ?
