After revealing it was her own husband who was the culprit, Mr Bruff became thorny.
"All this on the say-so of criminals?"
"On the say-so of the same criminals you have relied on in the past," I countered. "I cannot prove it, but I know it for a fact."
"Then what are we to do?"

"Who do you represent, sir?" I asked. "The late Lady Geeson or her husband?"
Mr Bruff's brow furrowed. "Adelaide Geeson, of course. Her parents were clients of mine before they passed."
"Then you would want to know who it was who struck her down? Who eventually murdered her?"

I removed my bowler hat and knocked respectfully at my employer's office door.
"Come!" came the immediate response.
"Sir," I said upon entering, "I have a pressing question to ask." Though I saw him roll his eyes, I was determined to stay the course.

"I have a question," I said.
"You do?" Annie looked at me expectantly.
"Is there a difference in biblical terms between killing someone yourself, or asking a friend to do it?"
When she frowned, I immediately regretted my words.

"If you knew who attacked me, what would you do to them?"
Bertha took a sip of her sherry, readjusted the black veil to hide her face, then sat back to speculate.
"I'd bleedin' get 'em alone on a moonless night," she chortled.
Well, at least I had a last resort!

Reminiscent of a triffid I don’t know what type of orchid this is. It’s a cutting from one my son inherited from his previous house owner. The aerial roots are getting really long - the longest is 19cm!

"More?" The man peered down his cadaverous nose at me.
"If I am correct in my thinking, I beg you to help me put an end to Sir John Geeson."
A moment of perfect understanding seemed to pass between us.
Then Mr Death raised his hands and smiled. "Young man, I am but a humble clerk."

"I wasn't expecting another visit." Mr Death looked surprised to see me. I steeled myself to broach what promised to be a thorny conversation.
"Good sir," I began, "you must be aware that for some time now I've suspected you of being something...*more*."

"He outright refused to believe me," I repeated.
"And after all we've done for him!"
I might have taken solace in George's vehemence but, honestly, I feared Sir John would go free.

Explaining my situation would have gone considerably quicker without his constant interjections. And yet he finally took me seriously.
"How is it you know that these escaped housebreakers did not attack Lady Geeson?" he asked.
It was the question I had dreaded.
