Memory like a goldfish - Sorry "Yet another lost story request"

Updated:

I actually read this sometime over the last 3 months I think. Similar to the Lucky Jim stories.

Guy inherits a property, and finds entrance to hidden basement uner the stairs. There was some work with ground radar to find water and a tunnel was dug for wind turbines. I house was built on the other side of a mountain (I think) which some family moved into - They find guns, jewels and old coins in the basement.

Help put me out of my misery please guys!

Regards G_R

P.S. I seem to recall something about a furniture store with a closed off storage area with some antique furniture in it - But that may have been a different story

That might me Ernest Bywater's Mallard Heir.

It certainly has some of those elements, particularly the tunnel under the hill iirc.

The first story is Mallard Heir, but not sure what the second story in the P.S. is.

Thank you Ernest, I have downloaded Mallard from Finestories as it was one that I forgot to do.

I would like to thank you once again for all the wonderful tales you post.

OK - This was definitely a different story. I do remember something led the main character and a female (wife / gf ?) to a furniture store which was run down. Their other branches sold newer stuff. They buy the place "Lock Stock & Barrel", then find a door to a hidden store room behind a dresser or something. This store room is full of valuable furniture which they now legally own.

If this rings any bells - please let me know!

are you sure ti was a store, and not a house. In 101 Bell Whistle he buys a house and finds the place is full of antique furniture, they later find an old smugglers tunnel and more things.

On a (completely unrelated) side note, I'm considering writing a story which includes a telepathic goldfish as one of the characters in the story. I don't know whether s/he has Alzheimer's yet or not, though. 'D

Nah, that would be called 'Nailing Fish Tail.'
