“Your grace, how can I be of help, with this investigation?”

“Please sit down. Now tell me what happened the day you first had contact with the man?”

// “Okay. The first time I met the man in the park with Nancy, my first impression was that he was extremely amiable; although that impression changed the more he tried to impress us, Nancy mainly. It was obvious that he was not genteelly bred but he was witty and well-read. He was quite handsome and I think that I never really paid much attention to his interest in Nancy because he tried to come across as a suitor. Nancy mentioned that he looked familiar and for a second he had a stricken look on his face. He quickly adopted a nonchalant attitude and made a funny comment – which I have forgotten. He said that he too had thought Nancy familiar and then he acted as if he had just realized something, and asked if we were the Cooper Twins, companions of the Princess Beatrice. I asked him if he knew father and he threw me an irritating glance and turned his full attentions onto Nancy. Frankly I really did not mind because I had decided that I did not like him. It was almost as if he thought himself important and needed to prove this to the world. I also have the distinct feeling that I have at least seen him before, in another situation.” //

“Did he by any chance give you his name?”

// “Yes, if I could just remember. I know that both his first and last name begin with M. That’s it! Mathew. I remember thinking that Mathew is the name of the king’s adviser.” //

“What about his last name.”

//“Mathew… Mathew. Morris! Mathew Morris.” //
