AS SOON AS MRS CARSTAIRS left, Adelia ran up to the makeshift laboratory and found Theodore poring over his notes.

He looked up. “I left Felicia sleeping, don’t worry.”

“No, it’s about Oscar!” she gasped out as she entered, temporarily putting her daughter to one side in her mind.

“Oscar Brodie? He’s not here. He was around a moment ago; he won’t be long, I’m sure.”

She looked around in a panic and lowered her voice as she hurried to Theodore’s side. “Oscar did it, I am sure of it,” she said. “He was not with his mother last Sunday. Lady Katharine was with Mrs Carstairs all morning and Oscar was nowhere to be found. He has no alibi, and he is strange, and he could have done it to get some kind of money or something, if that is what Hartley Knight was hiding in the ice house. Did he not hint to you that Knight could have been hiding something in the ice house? Perhaps he was closer to the truth – because he knows the truth.”

“What of Lady Agnes? She was our top suspect.”

“No. It is a ridiculous suggestion. She might have her secrets but she did not hit anyone on the head and then poison them.”

“But you think Oscar did?” Theodore said.
