Please note that due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, the meeting, for this month only, will take place on the second Tuesday (October 8th)
The adventure for discussion is: “The Veiled Lodger”, first published in Liberty Magazine and in the Strand Magazine in 1927.
A sad tale of a failing circus, a lion, a love triangle, disfigurement and murder.
Mrs. Ronder lives behind a dark veil. Why? And why , after 7 years, does she want to reveal what happened on that tragic night at the circus? Why does she want Holmes to listen to her tale? While he is familiar with the event, he does listen.
Please feel free to join the Petrels as they discuss “The Veiled Lodger”.
When: Tuesday, Oct. 8th at 7:00 p.m. (please arrive earlier, as the meeting will begin at exactly 7)
Where: The lounge of The Chatham, Hampton Place, UBC (near Wesbrook Mall/16th Ave)
Bonus question for those attending the meeting: Two days later, what did Holmes receive from Mrs. Ronder?
