Trigger Warnings<\/strong>: there are not<\/em> detailed descriptions, but if a bad thing can happen, it likely happens in this series.<\/p>\n

You despair about making accurate judgements about anyone. Well, I\u2019m here to tell you, boy, it was always thus. And that doubt of yours is the first sign of wisdom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s say that the still-unidentified corpse wasn\u2019t really Jack the Ripper. Hypothetically,\u2019 said Lofthouse. \u2018Where would someone get such a corpse?\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018I would imagine, said Sue, \u2018assuming whoever did this had the interests of the great British public in mind, it would have been ethically sourced.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She looked him up and down and finally nodded. \u2018Right,\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n

\u2018Indeed.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018Good,\u2019 she said, then seemed to decide she had to put a stop to this unseemly outpouring of emotion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
