Original gothic/regency work, rough late March/early April deadline

Fandom: Original work

Genre: gothic/regency

Rating & Warnings: PG-13; murder, animal cruelty, animal death, forced institutionalisation

Estimated Fic Length: 13.5k

Summary: Everything seems to be looking up for the Marchdale sisters - Marianne marrying up, Agnes tagging along to take advantage of the freedom their new wealth provides - when a long-buried scandal from the past rears its head and threatens to overturn everything.

Beta type: I'm looking for a reader's perspective on what feels unfinished - do the characters feel believable? Is there anything that feels unexplained or confusing? Are there any plot holes or inconsistencies? Does the ending feel rushed? Did any questions arise that you want answered?

Notes: This is a queer regency ghost story, a Northanger Abbey x The Devil's Backbone sort of outfit. Familiarity with regency lit would be beneficial! I don't have a hard deadline on this but would love to get feedback by the end of March or beginning of April if at all possible.
