1. What two facts does Dalgliesh discover that makes appear like Sir Paul might have had something to do with the death of Diana Travers?
Dalgliesh discovers that Sir Paul was at the place of death, during the time of death, which is quite disconcerting, and that after that he was soaking wet. Though I personally think that he tried to save Diana, which is equally as possible.
2. Who are Frank Musgrave and General Mark Nollinge?
These men were the managers of the Party that Sir Paul was in, and they were in a way partners with him, though not entirely so.
3. Why does Dalgliesh realize that he will have to investigate Musgrave?
Because Musgrave did not have an allaby for the night of the murder, plus, he had called Lady Ursula the day of the murder, and asked to talk to Sir Paul, though Lady Ursula told him that Paul would not be in for the rest of the evening.
4. What does the General tell Dalgliesh that makes him suspect that Lady Ursula lied to him?
He suspects that she lied because the General said that Ursula said that Paul would not be back for the evening, but when Dalgliesh talked to Ursula she said that she had no idea when Paul would be back.
5. Why do you think Frank Musgrave is threatened by the death of Sir Paul Berowne?
Because he does not want his position to be tainted by Paul’s death. He thinks that people might suspect he killed Paul, perhaps because with Paul gone he might be able to advance further in his party, who know.
6. Who is Miss Washburn?
She is Sir Paul’s mistress and servant.
7. How did she learn of Sir Paul’s death?
She heard of his death when she was watching TV.
8. How did Sir Paul and Miss Washburn meet?
They met at work one day.
9. Who is Mrs. Iris Minns?
She is the housekeeper and servant for Lady Ursula, and Sir Paul.
10. What important detail do Massingham and Kate learn from her?
Well, they receive a book that Sir Paul lent to Mrs. Iris, the author signed it on the date of Diana’s death, and they learned that Barbara is pregnant along with other things about Barbara and Paul.
11. What does Kate take away from Minn’s apartment? Why is it relevant?
The book that Mrs. Iris gives to her, the one that was signed by the author on the day that Diana died. It is relevant because it was signed on the day that Diana died.
12. Why would Massingham christen his children? What do you think of his reason?
Massingham christens his children because of tradition. He is also doing it because everyone else is doing it. I think that is a ridiculous reason to do something, just because everyone else was doing it. You should never make a choice based on what everyone else is doing.
13. Who does Dalgliesh go to visit all by his lonesome?
He goes to visit the grandparents of Therissa Noland.
14. What clue does he find there?
He finds a weird little slip of paper with a bunch of random letters and numbers on it, and apparently it is Therissa Noland’s hand writing.
