Right now? I'd almost suspect myself, if I knew I didn't already know that I didn't do it. Tavish would have the most obvious reason for wanting him dead, but he knows it and even he isn't brazen enough to murder him in front of everyone. I don't know if Treylbach had history with Isabelle, but if he does then I wouldn't put it by her. And Giselle? Who knows? Does she do her husband's dirty work? Bit of a floozy to me. And would Scrimshaw want him dead? I can't think of why they would be at odds so much as to kill over...and even then, would old Manstrode go along with it? Of course he would. He waits on her hand and foot. I'm just not seeing a clear motive. I need time and I don't have any. But someone is lying, and I intend to find out who.

Son, I wonder that myself. I mean it's not required that she does, but I am the Captain Commander of the Watch and am a decorated veteran. It's always good to keep the police on your good side. Although for some reason, I doubt that's why. As for Isabelle, who knows? That old cat still has claws, and I can't see Scrimshaw and Molatto taking in the opera together and giggling over some prat singing about his dead dog in a language they can't understand for three hours. Perhaps she wanted to discuss or already has business dealings with her? It seems as if she's got a lot of those going with multiple people. Just like Isabelle, really. I would not put a single thing over that woman. She's pretty, but she'll kill you. I've seen her do it. She's the only woman who can stab you in the back while in front of you.

We haven't spoken recently, but I did hear the rumors. Dervy has had alibis for all of the things we've been looking in to, but Isabelle...well, she was known for getting her hands dirty for money. It wouldn't be below her to have her boys roughing someone up or causing an 'accident' for a spot of cash. I had meant to ask her tonight, if it came up. I guess I never will now though.
