He looked over at the flowers without turning his head. "None of the girls provided flowers for the corpse, did they?"

The hair of flame shook slightly. "No, My Lord. They reported him just as."

"Curiouser and curiouser." He paused. "Contact the Watch, inform them that I have a body they need to remove from my property." He stood up, taking the card from the girl and examining it further as he walked into the Inn.
