From the maids' hushed whispers, Sophie Sullivan pieced together the full story.
At noon, while brushing the crocodile's back, a maid had lost her footing and fallen into the water, only to be brutally devoured by the crocodile.
It is said that now only gruesome remnants of her body remain.
Sophie Sullivan approached the maids, her expression strained. "Is what you're all saying true?"
A maid glanced at her and finally nodded. "It's absolutely true."
Sophie Sullivan's mind was in turmoil. She numbly sat on the sofa, her thoughts a tangled mess.
Vaguely, deep down, she suspected Minimus Hart was connected to this.
She already knew Minimus Hart was the culprit who had driven her mad; the evidence was the maid who had injected her with medicine in the dark cell.
Unexpectedly, before Thomas Shannon had even returned, before she could confront Minimus Hart, the maid was dead…
Dead.
A life had just vanished from this world.
