OK! Maybe a bit of a stretch. Another clue before a follow-up passage:
A cocktail party downstairs!

Ya got me on this one, pard. There are several stories with something going on 'downstairs', but the only one that comes to mind with a 'cocktail party' is "The Homecoming" and that quote isn't from that, I'm sure... I May have to pull a few books down off the shelf and search - unless it's from one of those new-fangled collections that I can't afford!

Attic or cellar? "Dusting off" and "attic" brings to mind "A Scent of Sarsaparilla"; "terrifying attic discovery" reminds me of "Zero Hour". Maybe I'll find time this weekend to research...

OK, Pard!! I'll unwrap the package just a bit more. Shake away:
