The Great Secret Chapter 17 - Nagaski's Instinct
In which the protagonist encounters the persistent and probing Mr. Stanley, whose inquiries into recent grim events reveal a complicated web of suspicion and regret, and subsequently receives the somewhat gentler yet equally significant visit of a solicitor charged with making funeral arrangements. Later, in an atmosphere charged with foreboding, a lady entwined in these affairs urges caution and withdrawal, while the menacing presence of a peculiar dog, Nagaski, serves as a silent and ominous witness to the undercurrents of danger and ill fortune that shadow their lives.
