高三的时候，记得还有两天就要高考，我同宿舍的一个女生，晚上息灯后，偷偷跑出去谈恋爱。可能玩的太晚的原因吧，她和男友在田径场草坪上，相互抱着睡着了，到清晨，才被发现。当时，我去送卷子，看到校长对政教主任大发雷霆：“你这常规纪律咋抓的?丢人不?”。说到这，校长递给主任一根烟，又道：“你说，我那儿子，咋就看上你闺女了呢?……”。

　　Chandler and Miles attend the launch of Buchan’s book on murders in Whitechapel where they are baffled by cryptic remarks made by an eccentric old lady Louise Iver. At the same time elderly vagrant Alexander Zukanov is lured to a house with strange markings on the wall where he is pressed to death, giving the name Dorothy Cade to his killer before he dies. Miles and Chandler visit Zukanov’s doss-house and learn that the other occupants were frightened of him and regarded him as a warlock. Buchan confirms that he was a member of the Bulgarian secret service and Stella Knight from MI6 names him as having been an interrogator of former British spy Crispin Wingfield. Wingfield is questioned but released though he tells the police that the manner of Zukanov’s death was a punishment for witches in the sixteenth century. Meanwhile Dorothy Cade, living with her sister Cecilia, is also murdered, burnt at the stake like a medieval witch.
