The record — long form

The mansion is the hung — the 'Molly' that's the maid's name, the 'chandelier' that's the rope's anchor. The 'Forepaugh' is the followed — the 'woods' that's the suicide's site, the '1892' that's the death's year. The 'dry goods' is the made — the 'half million' that's the sales' count, the '10 years' that's the work's span.

The 'third floor' is the lit — the 'one light' that's the sign's form, the 'reserved' that's the table's status. The 'lurkers' is the sheltered — the 'warm' that's the draw's form, the 'ghost stories' that's the entertainment's type. The mansion is the kept — the '1976' that's the restaurant's birth, the 'Irvine Park' that's the neighborhood's name.

The file keeps the mansion: the hung maid, the followed master, the made fortune, and the kept restaurant.

Forepaugh's is the archive's Minnesota file — the dining room where the help never left.
