    Pestilence at Sea, Scandal in the Constabulary, and a Six-Year-Old Who Puts Us All to Shame

    A Thursday of Contagion, Concealment, and One Hundred Glorious Years

    Dearest Gentle Reader, this Thursday brings a cruise ship plagued by pestilence, a constabulary once again called to account for sins of omission, and a gentleman of the digital salons who has invented a most creative new business model - one this Author suspects the magistrates will find equally creative. There is also, amid the shadows, a six-year-old boy who may be the finest soul in the Kingdom.
