she was doing it with if dr. Hobson's

right

you're assuming this wasn't a random

attack yeah I can't see the killer

wandering around with a mirror on the

off chance that he might bump into a

suitable victim they'd have been waiting

for marina which means they knew the

route she was gonna take would you make

of Professor Hasim well the only thing

that links him to their crimes up stolen

mirror of his which he himself alerted

us to and anyone could have taken it

anyone who knew was there why a mirror

what about this oak bar a word written

in blood that's a pretty flamboyant

gesture it must mean something

ancient Iraqi town maybe there's a

political dimension there's nothing to

suggest it oh that's the last thing we

need the search turned up marinas phone

a good square mirror from an east and

climb adorned the Royal bedchamber

mother-of-pearl in perfect symmetry

since he was a child young all dirted

marvel their tales in the magic mirror

from how to those who dared oppose the

unrighteous evil the Dern the princess's

Roth it brought down a swift and ugly

death

they're durian cranes in is that

profiteering flexure and where's that

at which point according to the Hatter

the Queen of Hearts ball off with his

head not Manhattan by the way Carol

never called him that and if you pet out

your essence with such tedious

irrelevant sirs I shall deduct marks

Emily this university has a tradition of

literary whimsy from Alice in Wonderland

to The Hobbit and the city sickly Narnia

sagas but only Lewis Carroll I suggest

can truly the judged a major literary

talent who will stand the test of time

the original of it is sort and Irish in

the wardrobe I signed a copy of my book

for you to UM limb well remember to play

where you have a way you've reformed the

Inklings Oh lay a rock band

the eagle and child to read their new

work to each other over a plaint Tolkien

was one and CS Lewis very cozy I'm doing

my doctorate on CS Lewis influence of

Islam on his third Narnia books the

horse and his boy have you heard of a

bara not a bara know why what's this

about the murder of marina Hart now a

girl who worked at the grapevine you

know I saw her picture in the paper

what happened I didn't have a chance to

read the full story did you know her

well it's a girl who sold me a drink

occasionally an okay I smashed a mirror

over her head and cut her throat with it

it's horrible

a mirror one identically described by

you in Chapter five of your new book the

mirror belongs to Professor her Simba

he's on this staircase comparative

religion well we know the mirror was

stolen from his room on Tuesday evening

how do you come to describe it so well

all right borrowed it from him last year

for inspiration when I was writing box

--lens it's out of my desk I say what

struck me was that this mirror is used

in a brutal murder and that you write

about it bringing down a swift and ugly

death look yeah by magic it's not

literal he obviously didn't read to the

end of the chapter I'm a policeman mr.

crane not a fan you knew the victim you

described the murder weapon hardly knew

her and I've explained about the mirror

we found a copy of your first novel half

woods in marinas room what can I say it

sold very well why shouldn't she have it

she wasn't given it by you I told you I

didn't know her where did you go after

the book launch came back here went to

bed can anyone vouch for you miss

Wishart perhaps no I put her in a taxi

home I had to talk business with my

agent to my publisher where is my

unstrung Lang award for half words it's

really impressive thank you

[Music]

by far I've made some time no alibi he's

got in a box

that's right what about no no ask him to

wait I'll sit myself it came this

morning to Dallas asked you to report it

there she said to ignore it

he's just some sad loners jealous of

Dorian's success but if there aren't

balanced they could be dangerous

thank you doctor

we'll look into it thank you

so we've been barking up the wrong tree

last night at which ask place I caught

sight of Alice in silhouette in the dark

Marina was the same age the same build

the same air but if it's pitch black

down by the river or Susan could have

got the wrong woman marina instead about

it even wore the same perfume didn't

they

[Music]

come in come in thank you professor

we'll call me Bernie I would never have

had you down as a detective mr. Hathaway

I would have never had you down as a

Bernie Bernie I do like you

actually it's some bunnies I appreciate

you saying I'm glad your word well I

thought in view of your expertise in

deciphering well let's have a look at it

[Applause]

big fan of your work on the Dead Sea

Scrolls actually will get you everywhere

actually I've been superseded by a

brilliant newfangled x-ray machine in

the case of these girls are too delicate

to on groan I'll cry from scrambling

around the Judean Desert with my glass

no what do you think this word is a bara

good try

except now that isn't an e at the end

this is an A you can see how the

horizontal stroke starts well to the

left of the inclined vertical whereas

here there's nothing to the left of the

inclined vertical I'd say there wasn't a

horizontal stroke at all it's not nay

then what is it sang woodenness Marge if

it was me certainly I'll feel better

is there um a South American dimension

to your case it's almost half oh no no

as far as I know no what about

literature fantasy literature

you don't believe marina heart nur was

the intended victim no mom

our swoosh heart was it's possible

that's more than possible pure hate that

but white up bara what about the mirror

I've got a ring around his circle a wise

man about a bar and I've got an idea

about the mirror the word I'll sure we

weren't sure about the final are you

where we there's a bar with a meaning to

me according to my new source of bars a

fictional land created by the characters

in a story by jail for a guest of tea

when he's home Argentinian writer

Gauchos tangos in the nature of reality

that takes me back

it's anyone still read Boris our Dorian

crane

News hesitant when we mentioned a bara

that's right up hating Wishart Street as

well wasn't CS Lewis Tolkien JK rowling

none created a fantasy world so perfect

as borders with a bar C fantasy world

well I don't explain in the mirror Alice

Alice Through the Looking Glass pure

right it's sick it's Oxford but we

brought a Lewis Carroll connection slap

bang in the middle of this with

professor Deering her uncle always

looking at the family first it was him

that gave marina round Alice that

perfume yeah but if he knew Alice was

gonna be at the book launch why would he

think she'd be walking along the river

why would anyone think so come to that

well Oscar because you have to be with

[Music]

when I don't go in there whatever you do

why is the bear off no it's far worse

than that the place is full of fools who

think that tolki than the rest of his

infantile Bunch and worthy of a

celebration only one didn't require a

pint so you consider Tolkien to be

infantile all fantasy is infantile until

it turns sinister which it does if you

don't grow out of it Arrested

adolescence is a dangerous things to

hathaway nasty and dangerous

sir since the end where the hobbits

fought their ale this he'll do when the

moon is full in the processor you both

here to to see the new Inklings I'm

doing a speaking yeah the theological

implications are CS Lewis's unfinished

work Dark Tower why he didn't finish it

too busy polishing his sword is that

he's coming um yes she she sent him when

I saw her earlier evening sergeant even

what's the soul of tasting here

it's Dorian's idea to link the new

Inklings with the originals the true

that CSS used to wave this around in

those tutorials really how disgustingly

flamboyant

[Music]

mr. chard

oh it's Dorian here yes there isn't can

I work with you about Tuesday night it's

important well you're always intending

on going to the book launch

yes of course anything out the ordinary

happened that evening I was a bit late

getting there because of the trains but

no and if you were gonna go home instead

of the hotel which route would you have

taken I normally walk on the river

y-yeah sir no she just arrived what

should I write with her yeah okay will

you wait with Ginny till I get back

yeah it's fine but hi I'll explain later

[Applause]

[Music]

what was she doing in Dorian's room two

minutes

what so did you get any idea at all of

who didn't beep small man woman just a

bastard

why did you go to the room I went there

to tell Dori that it was over you having

a relationship

if only he came to my room the other

night to tell me to back off in the

sweetest possible way the last night I

just wanted to see him if you tell him I

care about the message you knew he was

engaged your point being

someone slashed a photo of Alice and

send it to her not me

what did Alice say but the river was her

usual route home so if marinas killer

did mistake her for Alice then they

didn't know Alice was going to the

launch oh they had reason to believe

that she changed her plan

[Music]

suppose you ever it's hot Melanie was

waiting for Dorian isn't it that much

for burglary to say could be though

roses box

[Music]

keep it down a

what happened let me have a look you're

not mom I miss her too oh yeah I know

you did

[Music]

[Music]

it's mr. crane still here he didn't turn

up some spotty youth substituted with a

paper on the politics of middle-earth

most people left no signage in your

Alice when Alice went before professor

her see you do theft or just murder

someone pinched the Sword of Truth

[Music]

there is joy in the presence of the

angels of God over one sinner that

repenteth Luke chapter 15 verse 10 but

is the joy of angels regarded as

sufficient in the talent or Quran is the

act of repentance enough to assuage

God's demand for punishment

I've been thinking that goes with the

job I'm sure that was the murdered girl

I saw you with even though it was dark

I'm convinced of it especially since I

found her photo in your room I was

stopped locking my door and I'm

convinced with movement

Doreen Crain was telling me the truth

about you aren't you trying it on with

him last year most reluctant to remove

your rapacious paws he said why would he

tell you about that we were discussing

loose morals

he never made a formal complaint but if

the incident were somehow to become

widely known now under these sad

circumstances what circumstances you

haven't heard

toran crane died within minutes of being

stabbed through the heart I'd say the

killer held the sword against him when

during was in a standing position before

pushing it home with a single thrust

Alice was covered in blood it's

consistent with finding him and cradling

him in her arms

mister I managed to question her she had

to be sedated I'm getting anywhere with

this case yes thanks doctor for a start

we think that Alice was meant to be the

first victim not marina I'll still with

the mirror

her name's Alice and Alice Through the

Looking Glass no you've got the sword

from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

what next naughty killing big ears Oh

incidentally one of my students was

looking to post-mortem photographs that

piece of jewelry she wore was a Tommy's

locket apparently it's an Islamic thing

she was a Muslim aren't there any

Muslims than the Czech Republic well not

as many I imagine as there are in other

countries she was nervous of her

immigration status it's not Tara should

keep our options open we don't have a

certain that marina was mistaken for

Alice over special a perfume was I

wouldn't have a word with marinas friend

what's name Laila I don't know enough if

you want people compared Dorian to CS

Lewis

but their newest was some pushing 40

before he had success as a writer the

allegory of love do you know it not

offhand no well it's very perceptive

about the subject from a man who'd yet

in him love what historian and they'll

love Jenny

have you contacted your husband floor to

tell him Oh makes not Dorian's father

fostered him I see

we couldn't have kids thought about

adopting and then fostering thing came

up and took to win it is 10 he stayed

the first month he insisted he was an

orphan Prince but then he grew up where

is nikneim no lord knows I walked out 11

years ago

Dorian's 15th birthday that's rotten

he's rotten left me high and dry

there was something taken from Dorian's

room last night a decorated box from the

shelf no I gave that to him and it in a

junk shop yeah he went up to Oxford and

the idea what he kept in it once it ends

I suppose personal bits and pieces

yeah he had an extraordinary talent

have you read box lands just a bit of a

chapter about a magical mirror well I

know it's not your sort of thing Robbie

but try and get to the end I do you

think you could understand me keep

myself busy Gardens in hell of a state

[Music]

take your time

Dorian and I had a row about that

Australian student Melanie Harding I

found out that he'd been in her room the

night before last

late how did you know Uncle Norman

professor daring told me but when our

story in about it he just said to trust

him but I didn't believe him and I went

to see Jenny I wanted to see Doran in

the pub to make up and when he didn't

come I went to give him and I found him

mr. Dyk bleeding away why didn't you

believe him I never told Torian but I

got an anonymous letter and I thought it

was from her Melanie when was it last

month when all about publicity started

he had this box on a shelf yeah what was

in that I don't know and the letter said

why hadn't he shown me and maybe it's

because of some horrible secret I asked

and he said it was just stuff but he

made me promise not to look inside so I

never did you still have the ladder I

tore up and flushed it away

dad oh you some stuff from heaven God

let's make happen ever oh my face

someone handed it in amazing name Alice

one exactly did you lose your father on

the day of the launch could I borrow

that please

[Music]

that's why we couldn't find marinas

phone because the killer took it

thinking it was Alice's why did the

killer believe that Alice would be

walking by the river rather than being

in the Ronald Center a message to change

her plans yeah but she never got it

because she'd lost the phone last text

she got was the day before oh damn

it could be an email if she said to a

password on automatic yeah don't come to

Randolph go home

refasten and lock it on to a broken

market cue in Sarajevo the Vera managed

to survive somehow prostituting herself

eventually until she arrived here in

Oxford Asst marina from Prague ordered

over the Internet like a commodity no

longer knowing who she truly is we used

to meet up from time to time to discuss

what it was like to be a Muslim in this

land

did you disapprove of the way she's

living knows more than you can imagine

I imagine

but I'm hardly the Taliban what did you

think of Dorian crane we got on I

enjoyed his company his academic work

was derivative them much like his

literary efforts even the title box

lands is a nod to your namesake

inspector at the age of 8 CS Lewis wrote

a story called box about an imaginary

world based on his toys with King bunny

and golly walk the servant to me bury

his toys when his father died yes

professor did marina

sabirah say why she was in the Randolph

[Music]

come on through Ellie's glad you're here

too professor how are you ask I don't

know you might like to leave the room

for a while what I got to say might be a

bit upsetting I'm setting right we now

know that marina Harper was using a room

at the Randolph's hotel to be with a man

you told us you call away from the book

launch to a patient you say dr. Wishart

came back from his call-out to your room

so drink brandy yes who was the patient

oh um no elderly woman - she's had a

fall what was her name oh if you can't

quite remember we can easily call your

practice just tell them or I will

what is it uncle moment the time has

come the walrus said to talk of many

things like how you tried to provide

each other with false alibis because he

both been involved with marina Hannah

there was no late night brandy drinking

in your room was a nor a call out to a

patient no so which of you is with

marina on the night she was killed

me were lovers

oh no it's long after mum died I was

Langley honest you had a dad

you knew he brought her here once they

thought I was out but I saw them in mom

and dad's room

that's why you turned marina into a

fantasy to put away you wanted make a

just little so that text that you

received at the launch it wasn't from a

patient was marinas idea of a surprise

she was upstairs she said that she was

in a friend's room a chambermaids wait

me make love and she left by the staff

entrance I came home are you aware that

your brother-in-law had started this

affair with your ex-lover no I didn't

know George M told me I had asked him to

help me out then alibi in case the

police discovered about me Rita and me

why did you need an alibi to avoid

embarrassment why what were you really

up to on the night she was killed

I went to visit her what are we meant to

call them the sex worker a prostitute I

can give you her name I think you better

how long were you were there for hours

hardly but thanks for the compliment now

four hours is to window for the murder

oh go on that's haunted I'll be inviting

you both to provide a DNA sample on a

voluntary basis only until and if one or

another of you who's arrested on

suspicion of the murder of marina

hardener in the meantime I'm arresting

you both for obstructing police

inquiries

[Music]

surely you don't think either of them

could be a killer

I'm Sergeant Hathaway does what about

Dorian his murder and Marina's is there

a connection

connection it's you and me do you think

of anyone who hated Doron really hated

him for any reason people found him

difficult to get close to you sometimes

but he was what he wants I asked to be

no other man than I am that was the last

thing he said to me

[Music]

[Applause]

that's from box lat the hero says it at

the end of that chapter and I saw it in

Dorian's room - I'm a child of something

story and to boxin CS Lewis's imaginary

land yeah tell us about it Ginny I

wouldn't take that world away from me

no one ever could Alice wasn't Dorian's

muse was she whatever his publicity said

you were he's more than that

you finish the chapter oh yes I wasn't

sure you'd realize what it meant you

horrified I think it's fair to say that

if it means you had a sexual

relationship with you foster son doesn't

did it start when your husband left he

betrayed us

we comforted each other we spend more

time with with talking and drawing and

telling stories that we ever did in bed

I think we made our own secret world

with its own rules how long did the

relationship continued till university

we made a clean break of it I told him

to move on into the real world and then

the first book came out afterwards I

recognized our creation of course he had

transformed it into something that

everyone could love he's dedicated that

one to you dedicated boss turns to

harmless muse and bride bride fine I

would have worn a nice hat and I've been

delirious for them but muse that wasn't

Alice's fault innocent people suffer all

the time I thought it was Alice in the

dark and then Alice came to see me and

and she said she said he had told her

about being frosted he never said that

to anyone before and I knew then I knew

once they were away from here once I had

lost him forever

then he would tell her the biggest

secret of all

I love my heart rule my head you know

the last thing he said he said the heart

can and should obey the head it wasn't

even his own words

I pushed the Sword of Truth
