For one night only, the Queen came to the Royal Opera for the first time in twenty-seven years. Seats sold at five times their price. She sat veiled in the royal box through all four acts, never moved and never smiled. The next morning's Court Circular said she had spent the evening at Balmoral.

Victorian London: case 50

This Hell case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 21 of them carry a clue; the other 4 only have something to say about themselves. 10 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 50 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
