Dearest Mum and Dad, —I know you will have been anxious to hear from me and wondering why I haven’t written at once, but, as you can well guess, things have been dreadfully upset here, and really, I don’t seem to have had a moment to spare.

Mr. Slim—he is the butler here—calls Gilbert Larose the ‘Angel of Death, ‘ and says he is the greatest detective in all the world, and that once he is on the spot they will find the murderer at once.
