BS story

Hello Harry. Your train of thought here is impeccable. What would happen if there was NO initial encounter? What if the BS story were just that?

Cheers.

Lynn,
Saturday afternoon is early enough by all means, Lynn. Even Sunday afternoon is absolutely fine. Thank you SO very much for considering to scan, and please, don't knock yourself out.

Not neccessarily. Such encounters happened fairly enough in Victorian Whitechapel, as they happen in certain parts of towns today.

Mariab,
There was a Russian,a doctor,Alexander Pedachenko,who is stated to have been suspected by Sir Basil Thompson of being the ripper.Sir Basil succeeded Magnachten,so presumably would have had ample chance to study the ripper files.Why he suspected Padachenko is not stated by the author.
As to rage,what of Stride's feelings.Surely she would have been severely shaken after the initial encounter,enough I would feel,that she would for quite a while,be suspicious of any suggestions made by any male.So leading or following anyone into the darkness of the yard would appear to be a very foolish thing to do.Regardless,one would expect her to be on her guard against further mistreatment,yet she must have let her guard down for some reason,enough to allow someone to get behind and subdue her,and I cannot see that someone being BS.

Hi Harry,

I don't see her going off with the BS man as you stated. However, she could have simply shrugged the whole incident off as just another day at the office.

Frankly, she didn't seem afraid of BS Man -she screamed 'but not very loudly'.

To Me that implies that she objected to BS Man dragging her from the yard, and she was maybe surprised or he was hurting her A BIT -but her natural instinct was to keep her voice down so that neighbours or Club Members would NOT come running...

I can't see BS getting her back into the yard though...when he clearly wanted to get her away from it.

I think it is agreed,that Stride would at least been on her guard against further action on the part of BS,a person who seemingly for no reason,caused her to fall or be thrown to the ground.Had Schwartz not come forward,then the last person who can be placed in her company,the man seen by Brown,needs some thought.She appeared to have been comfortable in his presence.

Come to think of it, where is your pocket protector? Ah yes! No well dressed nerd should be without one!

Good morning, Lynn, just for you -
