"Was haben wir denn da Feines?" "Eine Tote auf dem Friedhof, Sir." "Ach, gehört die nicht genau da hin?" "Das schon, aber sechs Fuß tiefer, Sir." "Ein Unfall?", fragte Merridew unschuldig. "Wohl kaum, Sir. Es sei denn, die Dame ist versehentlich in die Flugbahn einer Großwildpatrone gestolpert." Dieser übergewichtige Snob kann bisweilen eine richtige Nervensäge sein. Trotzdem ist Reginald Lord Merridew unbestritten einer der klügsten Köpfe Englands.
