There is a problem at Landora, the huge Regency pile that Malvolio Claxendell is currently pouring a fortune into restoring to its former state. The ladies from Featheral Upholstering, Loretta and Rosetta, have created, embroidered, and now hung the new silk damask curtains. But over the weekend long tears and shreds have appeared in the lower regions of the drapes. Claxendell prints out a warning notice which he hangs on the lamppost outside Moudi’s. Below it is a lost cat poster put up by Yevgeny Huxtable. His pregnant Ukrainian Levkoy cat, Charisma, named after Abū ʿAbdallāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī (the Persian mathematician who lived during the Abbasid Empire) has gone missing. Even Claxendell can put two and two together.
