Mrs. Park (5′10″) holds the dripping umbrella, so she stood in the mud: the garden (clue 2). Now clue 4: who wears gardening gloves?
3AnswerAsks twice
This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Biscuit (bedroom, feather toy). The tallest suspect is Mrs. Park, so she has the dripping umbrella (3), and whoever held it was standing in the mud: the garden (2). Aunt Lina wears gardening gloves and won’t touch fluffy things (4), so she has the scissors and Biscuit the feather toy. Lina is left-handed and wasn’t in the dark (5): hallway. Biscuit was in the bedroom. Fluffy (1) means Biscuit.
Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
