Chapter 66: Sam, Strike and Robin have only a few minutes to speculate about the fate of the poor departed horsie and how it died before Kinvara releases the hounds. Strike and Robin take off for Chiswell House in hopes of both heading off the dogs and talking their way out of trespassing charges. Once again, we see Robin's farm girl skills with animals. It's a shame she couldn't just pick Rattenbury up by the scruff of his neck the way she did Tigger.
Do you ever wonder what became of the dogs after Kinvara went to jail? I suppose if the Stubbs was real the family would have renovated Chiswell House and Fizzy, as the oldest daughter and mother of Pringle would have moved her family in. While Chiswell clearly favored his male heirs, he does not seem to have any sort of title that could only be passed to a son. I never heard anyone call him Sir Jasper and he undoubtedly would have insisted on that if it was applicable.
For that matter, was Kinvara looking after all those horses single-handedly after she fired Teagan?
Robin has recklessly jumped into so many dangerous situations since Lethal White that I forgot how scary her search of the upper floor was the first time I read it, and how foolish it was for her to attempt to investigate the noise alone, even armed with a bronze frog. Strike's leg must have been killing him or I think he would have berated her a lot more for venturing upstairs.
