In the dim light of his study, James Edward Thompson poured over the various documents and notes spread out before him, his mind consumed by the mystery of Lord Cedric's murder. As he sifted through the papers, his eyes suddenly landed on a small, seemingly insignificant detail that sent a shiver down his spine.
"By Jove, I think I've found something," James muttered to himself, his heart racing with excitement as he examined the clue before him.
With a sense of urgency, James gathered up the papers and made his way to the home of Arthur Benjamin Smith, his trusted companion in The Midnight Society. Knocking eagerly on the door, he waited with bated breath for Arthur to answer.
"James, what brings you here at this hour?" Arthur greeted him with a raised eyebrow, his curiosity piqued by the urgency in his friend's demeanor.
"I've uncovered a clue, Arthur," James replied, his voice tinged with excitement. "It's a small detail, but I believe it may hold the key to unraveling the mystery of Lord Cedric's murder."
Arthur's interest was immediately piqued, and he ushered James inside, eager to hear more about the discovery. As James laid out the papers before him, Arthur's eyes widened in surprise at the revelation.
"Well, I'll be damned," Arthur exclaimed, his voice filled with awe. "This changes everything."
With renewed determination, James and Arthur set to work, their minds buzzing with the possibilities that lay ahead. As they delved deeper into the clues before them, they knew that they were one step closer to uncovering the truth behind Lord Cedric's murder. And with each passing moment, the mystery grew ever closer to being solved.
