Blair, a lawyer in Milford, gets a strange call. His practice is wills and similar--nothing criminal. A woman tells him that Scotland Yard is accusing her of abduction and implores him to come out to help her, even if later on he passes the case to someone else. The woman says she has called him because he is "her type," meaning respectable and conservative. He agrees.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
