From the Private Files of Scotland Yard Commissioner Rushworth Ramsgate - Part 21:

A Woman of Mystery...


While ensconced on the escarpments of the clock tower, Lady Dorrington, left a five-pound note secured to one of the clock's huge hands. As her ascent remains a secret, the eventual discovery of the fiver by workmen when the clock is next cleaned will create a mystery. The  precise opposite of Lady Dorrington's usual riddle solving modus operandi.

As to solving the mystery of the found money...  my lips are sealed.

From the Private Files of Scotland Yard Commissioner Rushworth Ramsgate - Part 20:

Never Wager with a Woman...
 

Tasha never ceases to amaze me. When she claimed that she could scale any structure in London, I scoffed and said in jest, "Why don't you climb Big Ben!" She asked, "Day or night?" I replied, "night,"  never dreaming she'd consider the wager genuine. I now owe her dinner at Simpsons...  perhaps not a bad bargain at that.

From the Private Files of Scotland Yard Commissioner Rushworth Ramsgate - Part Three:

 A Mystery Within a Mystery!

 

Lady Dorrington is exceedingly emancipated,  with a wry sense of humor.   She has several friendships with men, and I am exceptionally delighted to be one of them.  I have decided not to pursue the thought that our relationship might be based on my position of authority at the Yard. 


Tasha has no known long-term romantic relationships.   However, when I am unable to keep her occupied with intriguing cases, she has been known to take many lovers in marathon seduction.   About which, the less said, the better.

Her knowledge of dancing ranges from social, such as ballroom, professional ballet, to the foreign-and-scandalous belly-dancing.  She also has an annoying tendency to lead.

The Yard suspects she may relieve her ennui by practicing cat-burglary, challenging herself by robbing the most secure places to be found.  The stolen items are always returned and never accompanied with evidence that could convict her... much to my chagrin, and Tasha's amusement.
