Indeed the muffled screams could be heard from upstairs and then they finally stopped. Nobody was overly worried or distressed about it, at least it appeared so. If the younger inspector was concerned no one would know for he was in the other room with the body of Lord William. Most of the people that were here for the unwrapping were more than aware of the Lady’s ‘fragile condition’ and of course she did have a nurse hence that is likely she just had a turn in the darkness. Surely a couple of the maids would go upstairs to check. After all the bobbies would be here soon to deal with other matters<br/><br/>The larger inspector finished his tea and smiled at<strong>Bethany</strong>“Ta love.” There was a pause, as he took another look about the room; a few of the ladies were still having slight fainting fits. It seemed though that Mrs Carter Brown’s condition was improving. “Well then I am going ta ‘ave ta take statement from all of yeah. “So if you sir,” He looked at the butler, “Might find me a room.”<br/><br/>As yet the children were not aware there father was dad and the inspector wanted to keep everything discreet especially in front of the ladies, them being rather more fragile. Malsika just smile quietly in the corner as Charlotte asked if she might be excused for a moment.  Frankly she wanted a smoke and a good shot of malt. Also the woman wanted to talk to the younger inspector.<br/><br/>The butler heard the door and answered with a great deal of decorum considering the chaos which has just ensued. The man was shown through to the drawing room and he politely explained the situation, and would be most grateful if the good doctor might stay. He was sure that Lord Winterstone would be most appreciative.<br/><br/>The two children stayed close to Helena staring at everyone there. They tried to avoid looking at Malsika, she scared them, and also where was their father? James spoke again very quietly, “Where is papa?” He was also pleased to hear that there was a policeman here,, she would tell him about the bad man Cooper.
