The orgeat was spilled deliberately to permit a doctored glass to be fed to the old harridan, and cyanide distilled from laurel leaves or cherry stones disguised by the taste of sweet and bitter almonds as used to flavour the drink. I suspect that all the people who hate her will be red herrings and it will turn out to be something to do with inheritance. But then I'm a cynic who also writes Regency whodunnits because it is a splendid time to set them.

There actually was one more heir besides Victoria--her cousin (grandson of George III) George Frederick Alexander Charles Ernest Augustus who was blind and who became George V of Hanover. Somehow nobody seems to know about him. His father was the fifth son and eighth child of George III who took the throne of Hanover because a woman was not allowed to rule there. Otherwise it would have been Victoria's.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_V_of_HanoverDebra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.com
