Barnabas, Quentin and the Magic Potion
Barnabas, Quentin and the Magic Potion (January 1971)
This story marks a sudden shift in the characterization of Quentin Collins, who up to this point in the range had been portrayed as an enemy of Barnabas. Barnabas predicts trouble for Collinwood when Nicholas Freeze, in whose antique shop Carolyn Stoddard works, discovers a centuries-old potion that promises eternal youth. Soon after, Mr. Freezeās daughter, Hazel, tricked into taking a serum, dies. Carolyn is grief-stricken over her friendās death. Barnabas insists she stay on at the shop to watch Nicholas Freeze and his associates, one of whom Carolyn suspects is Quentin Collins, back at Collinwood in a disguise.
Ā Then Carolyn sees Hazelās ghost.
She interprets this as a warning that Mr. Freeze has marked her for his next victim. Barnabas still refuses to let her quit.
Has Barnabas made a fatal mistake by deliberately endangering Carolynās life? Or will his plan avenge Hazelās murder and put her spirit to rest?
