Okay, so my suspected bad guy turned out to be the bad guy--but it was fine. Better to have him than to pull some villain out of a rabbit's hat. Jane Finn is an astonishingly loyal girl, but that's also necessary for the plot. Question now (for me) is whether Tommy and Tuppence get married. I'm guessing NO, because the "we pretend we're not in love" partnership is more free-wheeling. I'll know by tomorrow!
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
