Grand Ellipse update
Well, well, has the Scotland Yard mole been found? Read all about it in the latest Times.
I can’t help thinking there’s more to this than Lieutenant Griegson, though I note that I was right about a fairly high-ranking officer being involved. On the other hand, though, his connection with Carter looks fishy, especially since Carter’s remains haven’t been found anywhere, which suggests that Carter may still be alive. Possibly this is a feint on the part of Scotland Yard. We shall see.
Vroomfondel knows how to build a fast yacht, I must say. From the Indian Ocean to the North Sea in three weeks? Impressive.
Shirley’s description of the burnt supply depots is accurate to the best of his recollection. His hypotheses are purely his, and he will revise them if and when additional evidence becomes available.
Right now, as noted in the Times, he and Margaret are riding a river ferry, and he is taking it very easy to regain his strength after the grueling Siberian trek. (Talking with ducks does take it out of a man.)
The field has narrowed indeed (though if the Times wants to avoid a lawsuit, it had better talk about Vroomfondel’s alleged criminal activities, as he hasn’t been convicted of anything). If you’re betting, I wouldn’t write Shirley and Margaret out quite yet, though. Won’t say why, nope nope… but I think they might be capable of making up a couple weeks’ lead.
Mr. Periwinkle is all David’s fault. Elliptid, indeed!
