And then, on Thursday afternoon, Theresa fainted clean away in the middle of a rehearsal, and had to be rushed off to hospital by the actor playing Tybalt. As I was thinking all this, Bridget ushered us through the main doors of the Rue, and we found ourselves in a hallway that swept upwards in gold and black and red. Sorry for asking so many questions but your detective merchandise is soooooo cuttteeeee and I am a really big fan of yours.

But with every day he became more and more like the Old Testament God rather than the gentle New Testament one, for rehearsals were not going particularly well. I think Hazel and Daisy will be in some very dangerous situations as they come closer to solving the crime.
