In a manner of speaking. A society lady wishes her rival in romance to be indisposed for a crucial salon. Poison is called for.

Success

An indirect method

It seems that this lady has been poisoned before. Her maid does duty as a taster [...] While she is dining, you [...] replace a bottle of her perfume with a caustic venom. [...] your victim won't be attending the salon, and you are paid as agreed.


Failure

Inconveniently suspicious

It seems that this lady has been poisoned before. Her maid does duty as a taster, and she has two cooks who watch each other assiduously. At no point is her food left unguarded. You stop trying when her cooks start to recognise you.
