Various Info

NOTE: There is a lot of flexibility in this game, allowing youto go to various sundry locations in haphazard order. In fact, the order that I went through the gamewhen writing the walkthru is not the order in which I played the first time - hindsight (or notes) issuch a wonderful thing. So, this is lessa walkthru than a script of what to do to get past a scene orpuzzle.Items that you can acquire are in bold, while poignantinformation or new map locations are underlined.

You need to come back later, when sister isn't there

NOTE: In fact, coming back is not relevant to finishing thegame. Writing this walkthru I was not able to get the sister to go to work in fact. Possibly sinceI came here much later in the walkthru run?

In any case, I finished without the 2nd meeting. But, in caseyou do manage to come back and she'sgone, here's the scenario:

WAKE DavidTALK 1 "explosives"1 "cares for you"2 "monarchy"4 "health"PLAY pedals of pianoOPEN player piano - cigar box and moneyLOOK bank notes - 100 poundsREMOVE cigar boxEXAMINE the cigar box on the couch - something familiar aboutmoney - counterfeitCONFISCATE banknotesTALK David 3 "money"3 "ruin you"3 "recipe for bomb" Vincent - young, accent, sweet/soursmell, earthy3 "Vincent" showed me formula2 "bombing"2 "expert"

It does fill in a few gaps that would appear later on if youcan do this. And, if you come backlater, you'll find out that David has died. You can take thecounterfeit money to Stitch Rumsey,and learn a bit of history about him.

The only thing I never figured out was how Holmes knew therewas a composite involving one of the royal family - or, more to the point a female member. I suspected acompromising picture was missing from Lawton's album, but had assumed it was something that would makeLady Cordelia break off the engagement. Yet, when Holmes confronts Major Mysteray he refersto the picture explicitly.

Overall, though - what fun!
