‘Lashes from my riding crop would mean nothing. Men like Windibank eventually get what they deserve.’
‘I hope so.’
‘Watson, it puzzles me that although all the evidence led away from Mr Angel, you suspected fraud from the start.'
‘It’s a pity Miss Sutherland didn’t see the deceit.’
‘How could she possibly?'
‘Well, there was his name, or rather, his chosen alias.’
‘Whatever do you mean?’
‘It’s an anagram… ‘Hosmer Angel’… ‘He’s A Mongrel’. Mr Windibank had a cruel sense of humour. I bet he thought he was being clever, thinking his step-daughter was only suited to marry a dog.’
