Quentin's room

Quentin's room in the West Wing of Collinwood was a sealed-off room, hidden behind wooden paneling, where Quentin Collins originally died.

One day David Collins and Amy Jennings were playing with an Antique telephone they found in the West Wing and Amy heard a voice who identified himself as Quentin (639). At first David only heard breathing on the other side, but eventually he was also able to contact Quentin via the telephone. After a double-séance; one performed by David and Amy (640) and another with the adults in Collinwood (642) stirs Quentin further, he contacts Amy and tells her and David how to visit him in his hidden room (643) which they access through a secret passage in the Drawing room. Inside the room David and Amy find Quentin's remains (645), which he instructs them to bury (646).

The Ghost of Beth Chavez appeared in the room at the same time as when the children first saw Quentin. Her attention seemed to be focused on a small wooden crib which would rock back and forth on it's own.

When Quentin's spirit wanted to contact David or Amy, you could often hear Quentin's theme playing on an antique gramophone in the room (646-). Professor Stokes later found Quentin's I-Ching wands (700) there.

The room was later restored and Quentin lived in it again when he resumed his life at Collinwood in 1970 (1071).
