It was a two-story house with ivy covering the front wall. A raised window, known in the British as an oriel, extends the length of the living room. In the depths of a terrace in the garden lies Dr. Guillotin's tomb, hidden among the clematis. Did he ever improve his guillotine here? The young "I" and my brother lived in this villa belonging to three women. The adult world around us is full of mysteries: Why is there no male owner of the house? Why did Ani cry all night? What's that gang doing in Lowrystone Street? Will the Marquis de Cossade return to the castle in the middle of the night? "I" was watching, "I" was listening, and "I" was thinking, what serious thing happened? When people leave and the building is empty, there is no trace left? But "I" knew something very serious had happened because the police came.
