Unlike a fixed dartboard, this one didn’t have a score in the center. Instead, it had a very narrow 10-point zone and a wide low-point zone of less than five points.422b9b8c51e22000

Margaret was reluctant to 106a1d49f6 kill Rahel, whom she 0059b6a75f had raised with her 7385779dc8 own hands, not exactly 01f4468c9b out of affection for 2f050a098f the child, but she 762de6d480 had joined hands with 467428696d the inspector.4d760bb30cf72d36
If she didn’t, the inspector would inform Duke Karlz that Sally had let slip Rahel’s secret.62632a2802b825c5

If that happened, Karlz wouldn’t let her mistake go either.a677ca6a9c6a66e8
Karlz was already a rotten rope that she needed to let go of. [T.L. Note: This is referring to the Korean folktale “The Brother and the Sister Who Became the Sun and the Moon”, where the children flee from a tiger on a rope provided by the gods. When the tiger also asks for a rope, the rope that drops down for him is rotten and breaks, leading to his death.]
