The Office of Resource and Civil Management confirmed this week that the administrative review of the restored Misthollow lodge premises, operating until recently as the entertainment establishment known as The Reverie, has entered its final stage, and that the persons reported by residents to be unaccounted for following visits to the premises have been located.

An office spokesperson stated that officers entered the closed premises and that a number of individuals were found within. The office declined to give a figure, stating only that it exceeded the count previously circulated by members of the public. Those located are being assessed for injuries and returned to their families. The office asked that the privacy of the individuals be respected, and noted that several were found in a condition it described only as “requiring rest and observation.”

The Chronicle understands that among those recovered is Marigold Fenn, the correspondent for these pages whose disappearance was the subject of a public appeal by her family. The office would not confirm individual names. Her family, reached by owl, asked that the paper print only that she is out, and that she is home.

The office further confirmed that the proprietor of the establishment, who received patrons under the name Madame Solace, was not present when the premises were entered. Her whereabouts are not known. The office stated that she is sought in connection with the review, that no charge has been filed at this time. The office did state that any person with information as to her movements, her present location, or her history prior to this spring is asked to bring it to the ORCM waystation during posted hours.

Several residents pressed the office as to how the keeper of a premises under active review, and closed by order since the sixth of the month, came to be absent from it when officers arrived. The spokesperson would say only that the matter of the proprietor’s departure falls within the review and that the office does not comment on such matters. As previously reported, no permit requiring a record of the property’s traffic was ever sought or issued, and the office confirmed that no ledger of patrons was recovered from the premises.

The lodge is to remain closed. The office advised that further notices will be issued as the review concludes. It offered no account of what was found inside the door, and said nothing further when pressed.
