“      “Might I ask what it is you’ve discovered Sir? It may help in the care of our two patients when nurse Carstairs arrives tomorrow.”       “I will tell you Giles but it will not aid us in caring for these two poor unfortunates, not in any way.”       “It is that bad Sir?”       “It is. Let us say that Jack has done them no favours in leaving his victims alive. At this stage, they would have been better off dead.”       Giles looked shocked, “But...Miss Polly?”       “Polly was fortunate enough not to have suffered the same fate. She merely blocked her mind from whatever it was that happened to her that night. I must conclude that her attacker somehow got disturbed and did not get what he came for.”
