 Chapter 16: Inspector Craddock Returns
 * On his way back to Milchester, Craddock had a nightmare that Miss. Blacklock was staring at him “with blood running down her face” telling him he did not try to save him (145).
 * Relieved to arrive at Milchester, Craddock went to Rydesdale’s office to discuss what he found on his journey.
 * Specifically, they discuss the possibility of a link between Pip and Emma and Patrick and Julia.
 * Rydesdale explains that Seargent Fletcher confronted anybody “who could have had the opportunity of oiling that door (146).
 * Craddock feels that Miss. Blacklock should “go away” from Chipping Cleghorn to save herself (148).
 * Rydesdale suggests that Miss Blacklock should go live with Belle Goedler.
 * In the middle of their conversation, the Constable Legg of Chipping Cleghorn calls with a report that Dora Bunner has died.
 * It is found that Bunner died “in her sleep”, through the pills she thought were aspirin “beside Letitia Blacklock’s bed.” (149)
 * With Ms. Bunner’s birthday party on Saturday anyone present “could have nipped upstairs and done a neat little substitution.” (150)
