Jane escapes through hidden passage as Hutchinson orders pursuit

The mantelpiece acts as a practical storage point for the manor’s candles, its position above the cold hearth making it a convenient and direct location for Hutchinson’s men to retrieve them. The piece’s simple carved motifs are ignored in the urgency of the moment.

Before: Positioned above the hearth in the manor’s main hall, holding unused candles in sconces along its edge.
After: Candles removed from its sconces by the troopers, leaving it briefly denuded of its usual function.
