Chapter 5: October 27th
Thursday 27th October, 1881, 9 am
Swanlea School, Brady St., Whitechapel
The weather today is better, but the business at hand is still sordid. The companions fill each other in on the events of the previous day as they wait for the session to begin.
Again, coroner Stephen Partington-White, looking increasingly frazzled, is continuing the Rodrigues inquest, with Inspector Cleveland giving testimony. Most of the details are comparatively trivial, relating to Rodrigues’ position and standing in the community, and there are several interruptions from an impatient crowd, leading to several ejections by the attendant police officers. Looking at the crowd, it is clear that the mood is growing more sullen at the slow pace of the investigation, and Cleveland comes in for some abusive heckling, which he stoically ignores.
Eventually, Partington-White calls an end to the proceedings, with the announcement that the Vernon inquest will continue in the afternoon.

"Do you see that lad?" Alexander asks his companions. "He was on the train with us at Hackney Wick. I wonder if he's following us?"

Vic nodded. ”It certainly looks like the same fellow,” she said. She studied him intently, to see what his response would be when he noticed her attention.

'I doubt he's following us but he might work at the asylum' says Harry. 'Good suit, could be one of the doctors.'
Harry resolves to try and follow the man.

While they wait for the afternoon inquest, Isolde fills the others in about The Blind Begger Inn . It might be worth investigating it further but one would have to look lower working class to fit in; it might require a disguise.”

Crozier:
Crozier will remain for the afternoon session of the inquest.

Re: Chapter 5: October 27th
When Isolde talks about the Blind Begger Inn, Melody offers to investigate. "I could do me best ta appear workin' class Miss," she says with a wink.
When the inquest is about to begin, Melody slips away from the others to keep an eye out for suspicious activity as Harry has done at previous inquest sessions.

”What do you make of the symbol?” said Vic to the others. “What might the ‘V’ stand for? Assuming that it has a meaning?”

Harry decides to take the risk and catches up with the man to ask him about his interest in the murders and the connection with the asylum.
