A/N: Final chapter... Thanks for all the reviews and interest!

So as not to disturb story flow, I'll define (1) here:

Läkare = Doctor

Thank you all for the reviews! :)

Enjoy!

We entered the hotel, intending to retreat to our rooms when we were confronted by a frantic Steiler. "Läkare (1)! Did you not receive my missive?"

I froze. "The- the one regarding an ill Englishwoman?"

"Yes, that's it. I sent the boy with it as fast as I could- she arrived only minutes after you left, requesting you by name."

Dear God, no. "May I see her?"

"Yes, but your expertise is no longer necessary, I'm afraid. The body is in that room." He specified a room.

Completely disregarding propriety, I sprinted down the hall. Please, no. "The last stage of consumption" the note had read... "She could hardly live a few hours". I opened the door. "She requested you by name..." It's too much of a coincidence... It's impossible... I reached the body residing on the bed. No!

It was Mary.
