Oliver Costello, a nasty type, has been killed by the time tonight's excerpt begins. Clarissa has found the body and rustled up her friends Sir Rowland, Jeremy Warrender, and Hugo Birch, to help her dispose of it. She has done so calmly, because she thinks Costello was killed by her stepdaughter Pippa: she will do anything to protect the child. What complicates the situation - apart from secret drawers and a concealed door - is that Clarissa is noted for her vivid imagination, for her convincing descriptions of things that never happened. When she speaks the truth, no one believes her. at 7.45
