There's a common beginner mistake of putting the investigators in the Parlour after this card is revealed, instead of keeping them in the Hallway. Interestingly, the Arkhamdb transcription has a mistake - it says "before you enter", a good marriage of flavour text and mechanics, explicitly saying your investigators should stay put. The official text however is "before you ANSWER", which together with the fact you were instructed to reveal the Parlour heavily implies you are in the same room with the newly revealed NPC.
