Day 1

Hargrave House is an old, Gothic-revival style building. It stands out from its neighbors on Belgrave Square, which are done in the more conventional, classical style. Hargrave House is also different because it’s not just a residence, but a place of work… dark work. And some more of that dark work has just landed on the doorstep...

The Daily Telegraph has a story about a washerwoman named Clara Yarborough who was found dead in a hallway of her tenement house in Whitechapel; her face had been carefully removed. !is is the third such crime this month—the other two victims, Edward Clive and Dolly Merryweather, also lived in Whitechapel. People are already saying it’s old Sally No-Face who’s doing it, but Sally No-Face is just a legend; children have been singing her song in the streets for as long as anyone can remember:
“Poor old Sally/
trapped in a fire/
her looks burned up without a trace/
If you’re lovely/
with fate most dire/
she’ll come and take your lovely face!"

By strange chance both of you happened to have a connection to or history with Clara Yarborough, what is it?
