To get back to the Peyton House, it has long been neglected and has cables running through the length of the house to keep it from collapsing. Even in great need of some TLC, you can visualize it's former glory. Under normal circumstances, this house would be considered a "knock down". Willie Jett tried to unload Both and Herold at several houses in Port Royal. He was almost successful with Sarah Jane Peyton.

The extent of the reach of the Confederate Secret Service has been well documented, especially by this forums John Stanton. The oral history of Port Royal has it that the residents had heard that the assassins might be heading towards Port Royal and to be wary of strangers. Maybe Sarah Jane didn't get that warning until after the "strangers" were already in the house. I can almost picture her entertaining them when someone knock on the do and says, "Do you know who the hell you have in your house!!!"
