‘Oh, stop!’ I said, and Alexander, looking extremely relieved, stopped and closed his notebook with a sharp snap, as though the words might escape if he did not. ‘Horrible! Poor Heppy! I’m not surprised she’s so upset all the time.’

‘It’s awful,’ said Alexander, looking as horrified as I felt. ‘Whenever someone in the society does something bad, they note it down, and then Miss Doggett collects all the marks in the Book.’

‘Yes, yes, very sad, but this shows the pattern Heppy’s sleepwalking took!’ said Daisy, leaning her chin on my shoulder in her excitement. Every time she spoke, it dug into me.

‘Ow, Daisy,’ I said. ‘You’re right, though. What we saw the night before last – this proves it really was a pattern.’

I spoke casually, but I still felt sickened. Listing all of her flaws – some of them so small – seemed dreadfully cruel. No wonder Heppy walked in her sleep. And I had another stab of worry. The blood, and now this Book. It all seemed to point back to where we had begun, to the simplest and most dreadful solution to the crime: that it really had been a tragic accident, and poor Heppy was to blame.
