"Daphne Miles, Gertrude Davis, we called her Trudy, Jeanne Morrisson, those are the ones whom I identified. Bella Lincoln is missing but she is one who might have left without notice. and Yes, I have a letter stating that we are not safe and that this house is being watched. I tell you, sir, that I am beginning to suspect every man I see. One has a knife in his possession, one seems to know too much, or be too solicitious. Even you, sir, have come from only the blessed Virgin knows where. My business thrives on knowing the nature of men and I do not wish to lose my staff or our livlihood because of some lunatic. Nor to I plan on becoming one who stays indoors, hidden away, afraid of every shadow." I finally took a breath and sipped my tea to regain my composure.<br/><br/>I considered the question of the rose symbol. A thought occurred to me,<br/><br/>"I believe  have seen the symbol in the small clothes of one of my guests. But, la la, I see so many men that begging pardon sirs, their faces are all oblivion and only their preferences for their cocks remain. But the rose, no,even that elludes me. He was most ordinary, in every way."
