18 is PL OK. Summary sounds good. You might want to add Dr. Thorndyke to the keywords. That said, it's been easy and pleasurable to DPL for you. I'll be on the lookout for more Thorndyke novels.

PL Notes 18 1:40 ''But", I said , "you knew"; you say "But as I said", implying that Thorndyke is still talking. As to the charts, I think the point is well made that Thorndyke made charts comparing Barbara's absences with the concentration of poison in the hair, and that t...
