Pamela said something under her breath to Tabitha and left Fitzroy's
side, taking her bag with her. As she passed Oswald, she murmured, "He
shouldn't be left alone, sir. I don't care to be party to another death
tonight."

Without awaiting an answer, she knelt by Philip's chair. "Hold out your
hand, if you would, please," she said, with as much kindness as the
plain words would hold. "You've bled through your bandage there."

Philip looked at her, seeming to really focus on another person for the
first time in a while. Slowly, he extended his hand. "I'm sorry," he said.
After a moment, he added, "I wish...", then trailed off as if embarassed
that he had spoken at all.

"I will see my solicitor in the morning," Vangie said abruptly, apropos
of nothing. "On Philip's behalf, of course. He will not be without legal
representation. The best." She had directed the last comment to Michael.
Casting an ironical eye at her great-nephew, she added,"We must, after
all, take steps to minimize the scandal in the family."

"That would be best," agreed Oswald. "Officer Powell, will you come with us
please?"

He rose to escort the Officer to the lower floor, and the Beaman's spare
bedroom.

(OOC - I think Michael is with us - anyone else coming?)

As they went down the stairs, a creaking could be heard from the lift, and a
distant door slam.

"That's probably the police," said Oswald. "We don't have very long, it
seems."

He was watching Philip closely.

Without saying a word, preferring actions to chatter, James turned and
followed the group down the stairs, taking up the rear position in the
queue on the staircase.

Philip seemed unaware of Oswald's scrutiny, but abruptly stopped on the
stairs. "My pain pills," he said. "Could someone get them for me? My hand is
aching, and I doubt I'll be able to get them again for a while."

Philip seemed unaware of Oswald's scrutiny, but abruptly stopped on the
stairs. "My pain pills," he said. "Could someone get them for me? My hand is
aching, and I doubt I'll be able to get them again for a while."

"Whereabouts are they?" asked Oswald. "I'll get them."

"Up in the flat," Philip replied, gesturing vaguely upward. "I emptied my
pockets onto the table...I suppose they're still there."

As the officers led Philip out to another room Marjorie put down
the other bits of evidence, left them on the table. "Now we know
who did it..." she said, looking disturbed. She avoided looking
around at the other people in the room as she sat down again by
the door.

Arabella went to Evangeline. "My dear... I am so sorry. Is there anything we
can do?"

"Now we do now." James agreed. "And now it is over." He glanced
apologetically to Evangeline, sympathy in his eyes, even if he did not
force her to meet his gaze.

Cyril stepped forward. "Mrs. Evans, can I get you anything? A glass
of water or cup of... anything?" He changed his offer at the last
moment. It seemed crass to offer tea considering the evening's events.
