Murder Most Posh: a Mrs. Xavier Stayton Mystery
“I didn’t believe enough time had passed that my telegraph might have been answered, but I was hopeful all the same.
A friendly young porter handed me a small folded piece of paper, and gave me a little bow after I placed a coin in his hand.

Mrs. Stayton, your telegraph has been sent. Please keep me abreast of your investigation, and don’t let the captain find out that you are still on the case.
Ever t...he loyal conspirator, I found a cigarette lighter on the desk and burned the note.
An hour later, Yara, Lucy, and I went to the little morning café. From the windows, we could see nothing but grey skies. We consumed our breakfast rather quietly.
