Just before Sir James left England for his current U. S. visit he attended medal ceremonies at a small school outside Cambridge. The mayor was giving prizes to the children.

...lovely girl disappears. A blood-spattered love-nest is discovered. Her fearfully hacked body is found buried in the bushes.
