![]() ![]() Thomas and Ted are mystified, as they saw a note stating that the lift was out of order when they walked Treves back. The next morning, Treves is found dead in his hotel room and his death is attributed to heart failure from climbing up the stairs to his room the previous night, greatly upsetting Lady Tressilian. ![]() Mr Treves remembers the case and the child as a result of a distinctive physical feature which he does not reveal. The child was given a new name and a fresh start, despite a local man having seen the child practising assiduously with a bow and arrow. That night, Mr Treves told a story of an old case, where a child killed another child with an arrow, which was ruled an accident. The dinner party is uncomfortable, as Lady Tressilian had predicted. ![]() Staying in hotels nearby are Kay’s friend, Ted a long time family friend, Thomas Royde, home after a long stretch working overseas and still faithfully waiting on the sidelines for Audrey and Mr Treves, an old solicitor and long time friend of the Tressilians. Lady Tressilian grudgingly agrees to this set of incompatible guests. He proposes to bring both his new wife, Kay, and his former wife, Audrey, to visit at the same time – a change from past years. ![]() Tennis star Nevile Strange, former ward of Lady Tressilian’s deceased husband, incurs her displeasure. Lady Tressilian is now confined to her bed, but still invites guests to her seaside home at Gull’s Point during the summer. ![]()
