First it's the books-- conservative misplacements. They could almost, almost be absentminded-- a history among the biographies, an art history among the philosophy, etcetera. A desk lamp moves to another table, upsetting the not-exactly-feng-shui of the place; a few artful cobwebs are artlessly swept behind the door.
Puck can afford to play a game such as this.
After all, they've all got time.
It is, in fact, exactly a week before he moves his attack to the halls, strategically targeting those well away from the room that houses the coffins. Despite Igor's best efforts, the cobwebs simply will not gather; it's almost as if someone were brushing them away in secret, when he's not looking. It is even his private suspicion that in some of the more distant hallways, several of the portraits have been moved around.
It is because of these preoccupations that Igor does not immediately notice the theft of one of Lady Margolotta's sweaters.

(Puck really does think the bats are tacky.)
