Four Days Before Christmas: Jury meets Father Rourke, who draws for him the semiotic square"a structure that might simplify thought," says the priest, but Jury's thoughts need more than symbols.
Three Days Before Christmas: Melrose Plant, Jury's aristocratic and unofficial assistant, arrives at Spinney Abbey, now home to a well-known critic. Among the assembled snowbound guests he meetsLady Assington, Beatrice Sleight, and the painter Edward Parmenger. When they all assemble in the dining room, Lady Assington announces, "I think we should have a murder."
