Was the missing one away somewhere and is therefore innocent, or exactly the opposite?
well, it must be me who is missing, since i was asleep at the time. which clearly makes me innocent !

So is MR trying to hypnotize us?
i can't answer your question for fear of incriminating my/ourself(ves), but that does explain my love of christie novels...

i knew about the limited memory slots in the brain though ; when i'm getting spooked by a scary image from a story i read by accident i try to think of ten random (unscary) things in quick succession in hopes of bumping the scary thing out.
