About the story.

The death of a famously cheerful philanthropist seems difficult to reconcile with everything people say about him. Around the event lie several possible instruments of violence and a series of actions that invite alarming interpretations.

Father Brown considers the evidence alongside the household’s carefully maintained picture of happiness. Chesterton builds a puzzle in which explaining the objects may depend on understanding the people who handled them.
