Death Before Wicket: Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries 10 - Plot & Excerpts
William Charles Wentworth, speech to the Legislative Council By the time Phryne arrived at the lodgings of that advanced young Modernist Chas Nuttall it was already three o’clock and she was getting tired. The slums were oppressing her spirits and what she had heard about Tillie Devine had not elevated them to any degree. She had come a long way from the East End slums where she had been born. Somehow, Phryne doubted that she had a heart of gold. In fact, she was reputed to be even more dangerous than Kate Leigh, Queen of Sly Grog, who ruled the other vices in the Cross. No one seemed eager to assist Phryne in her inquiries as to where the elusive Miss Devine could be found and she had been tracking in circles all afternoon. ‘Dot, I think I need some advice before I go any further,’ she said to her maid. ‘Advice, Miss?’ ‘Yes. I need to talk to a cop; I’ll ring Jack Robinson and get him to find a useful one for me, and I’ll comb the dens of iniquity tomorrow. If Chas and his friends haven’t seen Joan, of course.’ ‘Miss Phryne, you don’t think my sister is in any danger, do you?’ asked Dot.
