Because of an issue with his eyes, Shard did not go out at all on Monday. Coincidentally, that afternoon, a client actually came to his door.
Not wanting to send away the client who finally made it to No. 6, Saint Delan Square, he found a pair of flat glasses in Detective Sparrow's bedroom to cover his eyes.
Detective Sparrow's vision was normal, so these glasses were probably just a disguise.
The visitor was Mrs. Morse, who lived in Tobesk's western part. She had recently encountered a stroke of luck and a misfortune.
The good news was that her dear uncle had unfortunately passed away, leaving her several shops in Tobesk which were worth a four-figure sum in Gold Pounds. The bad news was that before she could inform her husband Mr. Morse about this, she discovered that Mr. Morse had a mistress.
