- Mrs. Catherick gave Walter some clues though, and he knows that the Vestry in Welmingham is a good place to start nosing around, since it's where Mrs. Catherick and Percival were caught meeting.
- The next day Walter heads to the church, where he meets a friendly and chatty clerk.
- The clerk shows Walter the marriage registry, which was in the room where Percival and Mrs. Catherick were caught.
- On a hunch, Walter asks for registries going backwards from Sir Percival's year of birth.
- He starts flipping through them and finds the entry for Sir Percival's parents.
- But it turns out that there's a copy of the registry in Knowlesbury.
- So Walter heads there to continue poking around for clues.
