Chapter 8: October 30th

[Philulhu]

Vic looked uncertain. ”If the woman has committed murder, she should face justice, surely?”

Crozier:

The Captain waves his cigar. "If the agreement we have sees the doctor help us find her, and then the nurse herself spend the rest of her life in a lunatic asylum, how is that not punishment enough? Especially if it means we find her before she takes another life."

"And what does justice mean to such a disordered mind? Should she be hanged?"

"None of this changes the basic proposition, Miss Vic, that we have come to an agreement with Dr Blessing, in order to obtain his assistance. We are honour-bound not to break it."

“Yes, the seekers often have to tread where the police dare not or can not and we must maintain our integrity by keeping our promises. And I agree with Captain Crozier; what justice is another innocent man’s death?” Isolde shakes her head.

“Tomorrow we need the nurse’s description from the doctor and I feel he may be loath to give it. But I think we’ll want to talk to the women in the sweatshop and that might work better if we ladies speak to them.”

She shrugs, “I’m only guessing of course. But they may stay mum if the band of gentlemen arrive and start asking questions. What do you think? If so, the doctor will have to be persuaded to stay outside.”

Harry shrugs, 'The luxury of deciding exactly what to do with the killer is one we can return to when we have her, if it is even her.'

[Mr. Handy]

"Perhaps we could speak to the proprietor while the ladies speak to the workers," suggests Alexander.

[Philulhu]

Vic rolled her eyes. This felt like the men talking to the managers while the female members of the society would be relegated to talking to the staff...

[Snapper]

Crozier:

The Captain rises. "Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm away to my club. Outdoor clothes tomorrow, I believe." He tips his hat to the assembly, and heads off to hail a cab to the Naval and Military.

[Mr. Handy]

"Good night, Captain," says Alexander. "See you in the morning."

OOC,I think the discussion is finished - I can move things on to the shop.
