The Mystery of The Missing Miss...

You may wangle a bath in certain continental homes but be prepared for anything including an exploding gaz heater. The high tub should be vaulted from a footstool. Having settled therein, you may find that it narrows to a point at the bottom despite the fact that you don't. If you can't pry yourself out in due course, you could be listed as a missing person.

Acres and acres here... and they're all yours.
