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 Nine:

The Stalker Becomes the Stalked...

The Case of the Grinning Skull Slasher - cont.   I have promised Tasha to not share the details of this singular and macabre adventure until a later date, for she insisted that Scotland Yard take full credit for its successful conclusion.   

But in fairness, I must admit that her deductive abilities discovered a subtle pattern to the blood-soaked carnage that had  escaped the notice of  the entire official force.    She was able to bait a trap, but her foe was even more formidable than anticipated and the tables were nearly -  decidedly fatally - turned.

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

The Circle Constricts! 


The Grinning Skull Slasher took singular delight in humiliating Scotland Yard, but the contest became a personal duel when Tasha was called in to consult on this case. The murderous scoundrel became more brazen, but also more careless, underestimating just how formidable an opponent he now challenged
