BACK IN MY own room, I read over my shorthand notes of the conversation between my Lady and Mr Vyse.

From what I had just heard, I was satisfied that they had colluded in the murder of Mrs Kraus, although I still could not guess why such a dreadful act had been necessary. I saw, too, what my Lady must be suffering in her private moments, from the weight of guilt, the constant fear of discovery, and – confirming Mr Perseus’s suspicions of Mr Vyse – the prospect of ruin if she did not give in to her accomplice’s obvious desire to marry her, in return for services rendered.

Another certainty was also beginning to form in my mind: that the death of my Lady’s father twenty years earlier was in some way linked to the murder of Mrs Kraus. ‘The truth of the matter is known only to our two selves,’ Mr Vyse had assured my Lady. But what was that truth, and what part had she played in it?

The significance of Mr Shillito’s belief that he had once known my father under another name also eluded me. Mr Shillito might be mistaken; but what did it mean if he was not? Although I could not say why, this question caused me great uneasiness, and only served to increase my already intense desire to learn more about my father.
