(When Helen Jekyll reaches her door, two orange roses await her. She is greeted by one York and one Lancaster. )

(Any chance her door is open...? Or is it just the two roses?)

(Neat! The translation, I mean. I don't understand what you're actually describing, though. A York and Lancaster is a white and red striped rose. Or are there four roses?)

Lewis was just about to leave his flat when he noticed something sticking out of his door's letter slot.

((Here is the letter slot:

It appeared to be the stem of some type of flower. Curious, he opened the door to see the bloom.

That, he hadn't expected. Although it was St. Valentine's Day... He picked it up, wondering at the color, and at who might've given it.

Lavender...purple...burgundy. His thoughts traced the meaning back through time, to this era, and he stopped, breathless. Un-self-conscious beauty. Enchantment. A smile spread across his features, lighting up his eyes. 'Seems I've a secret admirer...

Lewis prepared the rose properly and put it in a small vase on his little table.

He gave it one last, fond look before getting on with his day.

I guess they both fit us. I wonder who gave them out though?

"I'm..." She paused running the list of lodgers she knew through her head and coming up empty, "not sure." Alice frowned at the rose she turned in her hand, hoping a name was carved in the worn, tea green petals.

Yeah...who could know what each color represents? Who would even be interested in that?

"Um..." The answer escaped her. Who would do this? Who would leave secret messages in the form of flowers? Why couldn't people just say what they meant? Why did they have to go about everything in such a indirect and vague way? Why could people just say what they mean and mean what they say?

The thought was nice--kind, sure, but it brought up other questions. Who would know each of the lodgers well enough and understand each individual's history, hopes, dreams, successes and defeats to give them something as metaphorical and abstract as this rose? Who would take the time to organize this? Who would know this much?

Three names came to mind and each underwent heavy analysis.

Mz. Hyde. She knew all the lodgers and much about each of them. Yet...she had received a rose and she was the one asking the questions. It clearly wasn't her.

Lewis had been making his way around the Society and the tales of his deeds fueled the daily gossip chain. He would have known of the events that transpired within the police station and he would have had the knowledge of the Language of Flowers if his metaphorical talk meant anything. 'More fully human'. Why if that wasn't some sort of riddle then Alice would eat her satchel. Yet the poetic nature of the gesture did not seem to fit his style and flair.

And then there was Catt...

"Maybe Catt did it?" Alice proposed, "...or Lewis..." she tact on under her breath hesitantly.

Hmm...both are plausible, but could they really afford to buy everyone a rose?

"No I guess not..." Her voice trailed off and her nose scrunched up thinking where on Earth a purple rose could be found...

"Oh! What if they got them from Mister Bird?"

That is possible, Bird has been known to loan some of his experiments.

"I hope not that big snapping one!" Alice mimicked the plant's actions with her arms looking something more a long the lines of an alligator or shark than a plant.

Of course, Seymour! Though I wouldn't mind a carnivorous plant, they're really cool! And are in-home exterminators!

Alice nods considering this, "I guess they would take care of the bugs and intruders."

She nodded with more vigor, "Speaking of mailmen do you think it was more than one person who did this? There area awful lot of lodgers so maybe they needed a team..."

That's another possibility...but who would be on such a team?

"Well..." Alice said pondering, "They would have had to know what we were all like as these are pretty specific colors... and all the doors were open so maybe someone with keys...." as her voice trailed off she turned and looked at Mz. Hyde with a skeptical eye.

"Were you..." Alice started before reevaluating her words and trying again, "Did you put the roses in the doors?"

Charricthran reemerged into Richard's room, melting out of the shadows like a feathery puddle just in time to hear retreating footsteps.

Interesting.

He stuck his head through the door and looked around curiously.

Gerard piped with concern from its perch on the bookshelf.
