: The gas ring is on. 
; Evidence Collection 
: The bookshop's daybook from 1906 is open on Bran's old desk. It's open to Tuesday 20 March, today's date. The calendar for 1906 is the same as for 1934. 
: The splashes on the kettle match Bran's "through the spout" method of filling the kettle. Crowe always fills the kettle through the lid and there's no splashes. 
; The Knowledge 
: Malcolm doesn't have keys to the shop, but someone athletic could be able to get in through the yard behind the building. It's normally accessed from Bedford Court, but there's a shortcut through the Medical School next door. 
; Streetwise 
: The boy is Ronald Galvin. Ronnie's a budding rough lad from the East End. Someone has sent a message and Ronnie is the courier.
