> Let's check the conservatory
The conservatory at first seems to be a glass house bolted onto the main structure of the Estate. However when you approach it closer, you can see that the entire structure appears to have been grown from a single flawless crystal with a hollow interior.
Inside a maid-servant with an array of scars busies herself polishing the crystal interior by lamplight. The funishings are by contrast almost entirely bronze and silver contraptions made from assorted blades.
There is a single exterior door that leads in to the conservatory or you can make your way around to another entrance to the estate.

Hans are we the baddies?> Peek through door, but don't go through.
The maid doesn't seem to expect to see anybody, so you can spy on her with ease. She is polishing the glass with a cloth in one hand, the other hand appears to have been removed recently and there is a frantic look in her eye.

Hans are we the baddies?> Go toward the estate door, acting as though I have no reason not to be there, but not drawing attention to myself
You negotiate your way around to the front of the house to the main Estate Door, pulling yourself up bold as brass you simply stride through the door.
However your arrival is not entirely unnoticed and quickly a manservant dressed in a threadbare butlers outfit and missing both eyes comes to attention as you go in.
"Good evening, how may I be of service M'Lord?" and he bows low.

Hans are we the baddies?> If there is no one around kill the butler stealthily with your razor hands. If there is people around tell him Barnabus Finch. An obviously fake name.
There is nobody immediately present, but you can hear nearby movement. You can probably get away with killing him, but there is a risk of being caught.
> What don you want to do?
>
Hans are we the baddies?> Kill him brutally and spell Leeroy with his blood
You attack the blind and unarmed manservant with your razor-hand claws. Slashing across his throat, he spouts a small fountain of blood. Strangely, although a number of other servants are close enough to hear the gurgling death cries of the manservant, none of them seems to respond.
> What do you do?

Hans are we the baddies?> Hide the body
You drag the body off to a cupboard beneath the large staircase. Inside is an array of tools.

He has a face (without eyes), a stiff upper lip, some backbone and an iron gut. (Not the most useful of specimens, there are no doubt more exotic specimens around here).
What do you do?

> Use the razor hand to retrieve the heart
You do not yet know exactly where the Heart is.
(Search Memory) Did the Good Doctor mention what Gentleman Jack is like? Surely she could not leave me unfamiliar with my opponent. This could lead to clues as to who the favored slave/servant is. (Leeroy, oh no... OH NO!)
The Good Doctor is still one of the Masters. For all her claims of being a gentle, artistic soul, she does dismember people and assemble them into dali-esque living sculptures against their will. You tried to avoid interacting with her as much as possible for this reason, so you do not know any more about the Gentleman Jack
Stay on guard for any potential threat
You are on guard.
Where do you go?
