After a small meal, I decided to put on my smoking jacket and enjoy a pipe of my special tobacco, with a glass of single malt from my Tantalus. Unlocking the Tantalus and removing the decanter, I poured myself a generous amount, then moving to my smoking cabinet, I unlocked the cabinet and removed my favorite pipe and filled it from the ceramic tub, locking both again, I sat by the fire in the drawing room and decided to read the Times to catch up on today's news.<br/><br/>I just about got through the paper when I heard a knock at the front door, I wondered who it could be at such a late hour.<br/><br/>George, my butler, knocked on the door to the drawing room and entered, "Sir, there are two gentlemen here to see you, one is a Bobbie, do you wish me to tell them you are busy?"<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, "No George, show them in please."<br/><br/>The two gentlemen entered the room, one was large and foreign looking, he was wearing a tweed coat, dark colored trousers and dirty black boots, he held a cap in his hands, twisting in such a way it was so obvious that he was nervous. The other was the Bobbie, he was holding a tall hat, wearing a dark blue long jacket and trousers with black shiny boots.<br/><br/>"Good evening gentleman, what can I do for you?" I asked as I stood to greet the pair.<br/><br/>The Bobbie introduced himself as inspector Frank Williams and the he pointed to the large man introducing him as Gustav. The inspector went on to say that he had been informed that I was looking around the murder site of Daphne, he also asked if I would join him the next day to meet Madame Annalise?<br/><br/>I smiled and said that I would be delighted, with that the two gentlemen left.
