Blood Will Have Blood
“Breathe in for four counts, hold for eight, breathe out for eight. Two blocks of that and his head felt clear again.
Georgina: guilty or innocent? Guilty: hell of a motive; concealment of her background; secrecy about the decapitated doll. No. That wouldn’t play. If Georgina had planned the doll bit, she’d have shouted her injury from the rooftops … unless she was subtler than he thought. Innocent: he wanted her to be.
If someone else—X, the joker—had broken into Georgie’s place, he’d be a fool... not to use the material it offered. So the joker could have planned on making Georgie a scapegoat, knowing her background from the silent witness of her room. Even the poster was there, a standout: Samuel Borgmann Phelps presents Macbeth.
Georgina could have planted the doll herself. Maybe there had been no doll, just a story to match Deirdre’s. But then, couldn’t that be said of all the other pranks? Was anyone in the clear?
The trick that had brought him in: Frank Hodges’s Bloody Mary banquet, for instance.MoreLess
