Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 26 Summary: “Clio”

Clio visits the man she’s been calling—her brother, Jude—in Covent Garden. Clio tells Jude about the murder in the home, and they argue about the past: how Jude tricked their mother into signing the papers to commit her to the home and how Jude only cares about getting his share of the inheritance. Clio tells him about how Edith has changed her will to benefit someone named Patience Liddell. Though Clio doesn’t know who Patience is, Jude is overjoyed to learn this since Patience lives right above his art gallery.

Chapter 27 Summary: “Patience”

As Edith takes Dickens for a walk, Jude and Clio go upstairs to confront Patience. Clio doesn’t recognize Patience, but Patience recognizes Clio from the home. Jude and Clio find evidence of Patience’s connection to Edith throughout the room—Edith’s bank card in Patience’s purse, Edith’s ladybug ring on Patience’s finger, and money on Patience’s bed that they assume is from Edith but is money Patience earned herself or stole from Joy. Patience tries to run but is caught on the stairs by Charlotte.

Chapter 28 Summary: “Edith”

Edith takes Dickens to St. Paul’s, where she considers giving Patience another chance and trusting her again. She has a plastic bag on her that contains a bronze statue of a magnifying glass—a gift given to her when she retired from working as a detective in a supermarket.
