Margaret Master and Ellen Fotheringay arrive in London to meet Margaret's fiancé Forbes at a private square inn. After a suspenseful wait, Margaret breaks into Forbes chambers to find him dead, a blood‑written note accusing Margaret as the murderer.
The police investigation into Graham Forbes's death reveals a rise from clerk to broker on the Stock Exchange, a planned marriage to Margaret Mayter, and a life of industry. Authorities consider vengeance or robbery as motives while noting no clear enemy list, with Forbes found dead after returning to his chambers in October.
In a detailed inquest record from Taggart's Inn, investigators describe entry to Forbes’s rooms, the crime scene with overturned chairs and bloodstains, a note scribbled by the dying man, and a suspected motive tied to debts and a rival, plus witness accounts from the gatekeeper and a clerical examiner. The narrative outlines a probable struggle, a killer who may have escaped through adjacent rooms, and a blade matching the wound.
The Kardtenick Procens Washington Hatcher and Mrs Blank discuss cribs and eight children sharing a small attic while two adults reserve the garret. They plan temporary arrangements as they prepare to move to a garret above the bathroom and later visit a fashionable resort this summer.
