Last update: 11 May 2016

Being in Churston again, during the dialogue with Franklin ask if Thora is leaving her job (3 ego points).Then go upstairs to Lady Clarke's bedroom.

Look at old lady. Notice her dazed eyes, trembling hands and painkillers on the closet. Try to talk with Lady Clarke, she is not in the condition to being questioned. In Poirot's notebook appears information about another witness: Lady Clarke.

Go downstairs and answer the telephone - on the chest of drawers, left side of the stairs. Then look at yourself in the mirror (3 ego points).

Go to the left bottom corner, where the hunter trophy is hanging. Look at it (two clues): notice a tag with the inscription, click on it - there is a secret compartment with a skeleton key which Poirot will take. Click the tag again and read the inscription.

Come back to Lady Clarke's bedroom and close to the dressing table. Open the medicine cabinet's drawer by using the skeleton key.

When Poirot gives Lady Clarke an injection, remind her of her invitation to come and see her (1 ego point).

Unfortunately, the woman falls asleep quickly. You need to wake her up gently. Take a bronze comb from the dressing table. You will find a silver comb lying on the floor near bed. Click on the bedside cabinet and in the zoom take a gold comb.

Now look at the cupboard on the right side of the door (three clues). Look at three photos: photo of Lady Clarke and Sir Carmichael, photo of radiant Lady Clarke and photo of fun game of croquet. Then click on the music box which is lying on the cupboard.

Playing the music box

Open the cover - the spring is broken. Open the inventory, click on the offered by Arthur pen and click the hand icon. You will get a new spring which put onto the place of the broken one. Now put the combs on the bottom part of the music box (by order of their numbers): first gold, then silver and the bronze as the last one (the repaired mechanism of music box is on the screenshot below).

Zoom out and turn the music box to see a crank. Zoom in, and turn the crank to play a melody (10 ego points).

Continue the questioning of Lady Clarke. Indicate that Thora did a good job (1 ego point), remind her that Thora is an orphan (1 ego point), then remind her that Thora took care of her (3 ego points) or admit you make a mistake about her (3 ego points).

When Lady Clarke falls asleep again, go downstairs and answer the telephone. During the conversation with Arthur you will get a trophy Einstein moustache.
