Blackwood, Elizabeth and Simon had agreed that they needed to find out more about what Vale was up to. What they didn’t agree on was how. They didn’t want to separate, but somehow the idea of Katherine Vale spilling her guts, metaphorically, to Simon was hard to picture. If Elizabeth could get her alone, she might let something slip. In the end, Elizabeth’s logic had won out—a rare victory and one to be relished when married to Simon Cross—and so she went alone to Hyde Park Hotel. Well, alone-ish. Simon was not willing to let her stray too far from him, and planted himself in the park across the street where he could see the hotel entrance clearly. A few days ago, Elizabeth would have thought he was being overly cautious, but that had been before she’d run willy-nilly through the streets of Whitechapel with no idea what the holy heck was going on. Elizabeth looked across the street, nodded once to him and then turned and walked up the steps to the lobby. As she did she focused on Vale, trying out various, potential tacks.
