Status Updates From Barringer House

I would really appreciate more about the villainy & less about Alison's repeated (& unsuccessful) attempts to escape the house. What are these people doing? How are they doing it?

The day coach swayed gently, groaning and whining like a living creature as the train hurtled northward through the dismal October gloom.
