Version : 2.0

Description : The story takes place during the events in T2, before the death of Sheriff Truart. Garrett receives an unespected letter from Lord Carlysle.

Mister Garrett,
I never would have thought that I would need your services, but sometimes life has a few surprises in store for you.
Perhaps you've already heard of me making my daughter Isabella marry Lord Bafford's son, Cedric.
They went to live in the country, in the old mansion that belonged to Lord Bafford's great grandfather.
However strange things have been happening in the last few months.
Sheriff Truart's men were already there because of the mysterious disappearance of two of the maids; Isabella vanished a few days ago as well.
I recently received a strange message from Barker, the caretaker.
He is certain that Isabella is still alive, and he urges me to do something about it without even giving me any proof or explanations.
Mister Garrett, I want you to go there and find out what happened to my daughter. You will be well paid for your services, but if you manage to bring me back Isabella alive, you will receive such a reward that you will be able to retire for good.
Start out by discovering what Barker knows, then find out what happened.
I'm warning you now, I have no intention of letting Sheriff Truart know that I don't trust him and his men at all.
He will not be pleased if he knew I recruited a thief to finish the job him and his men cannot do.
Therefore, if you are caught I will not help you in any way and I will deny any involvement.
Good luck,

Lord Carlysle

P.S: Isabella used to keep a diary... if you are able to find it there should be some interesting information in it."

* Known bugs *

Some items that look like loot can't be picked up. It's not really a bug, because it is intentional. The betatesters warned me that it would have been disappointing for the player, but I didn't change it because I didn't want the player to take away some objects.
None of these are counted in the loot total.

ITALIAN TAFFERS ONLY!!!

Purtroppo come gi? sapete non esiste una versione italiana del nostro amato gioco, perci? ci dovremo arrangiare.
In questa missione la lettura dei testi ? MOLTO importante (spero che non vi risulti noioso) ai fini del raggiungimento degli obiettivi, perci?. a meno che non capiate l'inglese alla perfezione, vi consiglio caldamente di seguire le seguenti istruzioni.

Dopo aver scaricato la missione e averla sistemata nella cartella che usate normalmente aprite Darkloader e selezionate "INSTALL ONLY".
A questo punto chiudete Darkloader e andate nella cartella dove avete installato Thief 2.
Trovate la cartella "Books" e apritela: all'interno troverete due cartelle: "English" e "Italian". Rinominate la cartella "English" non importa come. "XEnglish" andr? benissimo.
Quindi rinominate la cartella "Italian" facendola diventare "English". Chiudete la cartella "Books".

Se desiderate poter leggere anche gli obiettivi in italiano ? un po' pi? complicato: aprite la cartella Intrface\Miss20\Italian, prendete il file "goals.str" e sostituitelo al corrispettivo che troverete nella cartella Intface\Miss20\English.
E' consigliabile fare una copia dei file prima di eseguire queste operazioni.

Chiudete tutto e ritornate a Darkloader. Buon divertimento!
