A Case that Stayed with Me
I was browsing through Old Bailey records when I found a case about a widowed, elderly housekeeper named Betty Jeffs. She had been murdered in the servants’ hall of an otherwise empty townhouse. The killing was brutal, but what stood out to me was that the rooms above stairs had reportedly been searched—but not robbed.

“By the time you swear you're his,

And he vows his passion is,
Infinite, undying.

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.
But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”

And do the things I do,
