Mark Sinclair introduces the tale from his study where Arch interrupts his attempt to write the next 'W. W.' story, and tells his own. Set in the centre of Melbourne, the tale of a forger who murders his wife and take refuge with a female accomplice in the house where she is washerwoman. A little terrier aids in his capture. [Interesting for the 'W. W.' material.] (PB)
