| Taking Notes... | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | A cheerily offensive ferryman, the […] Detective's barely present consciousness, and the […] Neathy geography […] make the journey south […] taxing […]
It is a relief when you are finally delivered to a modest house with a tasteful garden. […] […] a sombre butler escorts you inside. |
| 1 | The room is in extravagant mourning. […] Miles of black crepe […] Every reflective surface covered, the fireplace unlit. Black candles […]
[…] This tableau clearly is staged to elicit sympathy. Her eyes are red from weeping[…], and the bewildered grief […] is all too genuine. |
| 2 | The Honey-Addled Detective […] unfocused gaze in the general direction of a large covered mirror […]
[…] her reasons for hiring detectives come into focus. Her deceased uncle's will has vanished, and without it she can't claim the necklace she was promised. |
| 3 | The death of […] wealthy and distinguished […] Augustus Mosserby, Earl Grassepen, would have merited more than a mention in the society pages. […] no mention of it in print is an undeniable oddity.
The Sentimental Niece shifts uncomfortably. Her look grows haughty. |
| 4 | The Sentimental Niece has become markedly less sentimental […] her desire for her […] memento, and her grief […] seem genuine enough.
Your welcome here is quickly wearing thin, but there is time for one final question. It never hurts to trace the victim's movements […] |
| 5 | Drudgewick is quiet, genteel, clean, and worryingly safe for a London suburb[…]
[…] you review your meeting […] She didn't actually ask you to find her uncle's missing will, but when you're […] wealthy […], things tend to arrange themselves […] without you ever needing to ask. |
