"I could remind you of one or two that weren't. What about the Mappin murder, way back in nineteen-five? And that emerald business at the Houstons' country house this spring, with that dancing and circus-riding girl who used to be at the Hippodrome the Russian, who did Russian dancing on her horse's back? What was her name? I ought to remember.
