Chapter 178: Thirty-five. Set off

It isn't to say that it was usually desolate; ever since Anna and the inconspicuous statue arrived, the word 'desolate' no longer belonged to the Detective Agency.

A few books to stave off ennui, pure water in a flask, a spare torch owned by every household, two oil lamps, several pounds of kerosene, and a portrait frame she could hide in.
