The Queen's (!) ask questions and puzzle out the mystery. Dead guy is a sleazy lawyer. He was drinking booze at the play and had a kid go get him Ginger Ale as a mixer. His hat is missing--hence the title. All the seats around him, weirdly, were empty even though the play is a smash hit. Body discovered by timid man. Doorman (old) can't remember if anyone entered the theatre during the second act. Still fun, though reviews make me wonder how much longer the fun will last.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
