Edgar and Lydia returned to his townhouse in Mayfair. So much had happened that she was too shaken to go home immediately. His residence was closer than hers, and she had hoped to calm down for a spell with some tea. Unfortunately, the house wasn’t in a peaceful state either.

“Whatever is the matter, Tompkins?”

“It isn’t anything serious, my lord.” Edgar’s short, stout butler took his master’s hat and cane with energetic movements. “We have had frequent visits from a number of black cats, so might I ask that your lordship uses the north-facing rooms for the time being?”

The vase in the hall, the sculpture by the stairs, and the painting in the corridor had all fallen to the floor. It certainly seemed serious, but Edgar seemed to take solace in Tomkins’s serenity and merely shrugged.

“The north-facing rooms are all right, are they?”

“I believe so, my lord.”

“In that case, please bring our tea to the library.”

“Whatever is going on?” Lydia fretted. “A black cat appeared before that balloon accident, too. It isn’t normal.”

“The cats aren’t at fault,” came a voice. A cat—a gray one—was sitting on the banister. It was Nico, Lydia’s fairy companion, a feliform creature who spoke and wore a necktie. “You brought something rather sinister home with you, didn’t you, earl? That is the cause of these strange happenings. These illusory black cats are merely the harbingers of those events.” Nico hopped down onto the floor. He strode along on two legs, his paws clasped behind his back.

“Ah. So that’s it,” Edgar said.

“You’ll get rid of it if you know what’s good for you.”

“If only I could. As things stand, I ask that you put up with everything for a while longer.”

“What is it that you brought home, Edgar?” Lydia asked.

“A cursed diamond,” he replied casually. Then, he indicated that she ought to go to the library before him.
