The first part of the investigation seems to go well, as the local Constabulary (detective branch thereof) is friendly. There's a definite view by them (the detectives) that something odd is going on.
Also odd, perhaps. They serve pints of plain in the tropics! Served by knowledgeable bartenders.
VERY knowledgeable ones.
Also: whitetails can surf.

Hmmm...odd, I've only now realized that my "voice" for WW5 and my "voice" for Inspector Stagg are one and the same. It's going to require some hard thinking to come up with a different one for the inspector now.
This has me so gobsmacked that I acknowledge the ma'muul reference but I can't even comment on it....and "Fork Inn"...

(1) Inspector Stagg, in my imagination, always had a very dry, precise upper class New England voice. By contrast, WW5 has a voice that's a lot more broad New England (think of Parker Fennelley's "Titus Moody" character). However, there *are* similarities between the two. (My own voice is a mixture of New England and upper-middle-class Irish.)
(2) The "Fork Inn" is a spoof of Atlantic City's "Knife and Fork Inn," which had a slogan for many years to the effect that its clams "made you reckless." Matchbooks from the 1940s showed a stork carrying a baby to accompany this. Obviously, ma'muul makes you more reckless that the K&FI could ever have imagined. Just ask Doctor Meffit.
