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

An Ancient Curse!

I do not profess to have an under-standing of the female of the species, but I did think I had the measure of Lady Dorrington’s insatiable appetite for the unusual and mysterious.  Yet, she has confounded me!

I have invited her to participate in a murder investigation with implications that threaten the peace of all Europe.  It would be impossible to find higher stakes!

However, with a logic that eludes me, Tasha is more intrigued with saving the life of a sheep-farmer on an island in ScotlandThe fellow claims he is threatened by – of all the absurdities – an ancient demon more at home in a book of legends than a police report.

How can Tasha balance the life of one against the fate of millions?  I may fathom the workings of the criminal mind, but the logic of ladies is a mystery I, alas, cannot pierce.

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.
