[Quiet Man Cometh]

My initial thought on Lady Scrimshaw was that she was embarrassed at only having one member of house staff, rather than several, which might look poorly on her status as nobility. Perhaps she doesn't quite have the wealth she should.

Her not having any other staff could perhaps lend credence to the notion of Alabaster ultimately working towards getting her riches for himself. Although, without a will he would better off with her staying alive and out of trouble,

Has anyone considered what he meant by "almost making a mistake" when giving Lady Scrimshaw the ham before taking it and passing it to Lord Trey instead? Maybe there was a goof. There's always a change the wrong target got hit.

Further question: Can we ask observational questions? Such as what the rooms and such look like? For instance, the wine cellar is covered in dust. Is there any evidence of someone passing? Footprints, or bottles with dust missing? If it's dusty and dingy down there, Alabaster may have had to wipe off a few to find the right replacement bottle.
