Thanks for taking your time to review my story. I appreciate it.

The old man tortured Rigaut to 'prepare' him for the wall, that's all.

I will agree that Rigaut isn't properly fleshed out. I wanted the reader to focus more on the horrors of the house and I simply planned for Rigaut to be a 'vessel' that would carry the reader around the house. A poor decision, in hindsight. I won't repeat the same mistake again, rest assured.

Although, I would have hoped that readers would understand that the only reason Rigaut hang the old man on the wall is because he was the Lady's new painter. The fact that I have to explain it in the comments proves that somewhere I failed.
