Wyndham Case Part II

Imogen knows a little about police work, as she has become friends with Mike Parsons, who is in the police force. He is on the case. In the college, there is a controversy going on over one of the libraries. There is a library, supported by a generous bequest from an earlier don, which is supposed to have an audit every 100 years. A lot of money is tied up in the library, and the college wishes there was some way of breaking the trust and freeing up the money. THe owner of the books was an old fashioned scholar in the 17th century, and most of his books are of no scholarly value, as he tended to support theories that were discredited, even during his lifetime. It is legally possible to go to the Charity COmmission to look into the original trust but the Master is a quiet man who dislikes conflict. As the case unravels, it seems as if Philip was in the library late at night stealing books which seems possible as he was not well off. It emerges that he had quite a decent sum of money in his bank account, considering he was a poor student. Imogen visits Philip's family and is distressed that they are so upset not only to lose their only child but to have whispers going around that he was a thief. Some of the students contact Imogen and tell her where Jack is hiding out, at a hut at the seaside. He tells the police that he found PHilip in the library at night and they quarrelled because he was sure that Philip was up to no good. He pushed him and Philip fell and hit his head. It turns out that Philip had been having shots prior to going on holiday, and a medical student, who was trying to attract Jacks attention, mixed soemthing in the jabs that stopped the blood clotting. Eventually, Imogen discovers that the truth was that Philip was the victim of a prank played by one of the ordinary college librarians on the librarian of the Wyndham library. He was hired to do an audit, which would mean that the trust would go on for a longer while, and the librarian would look foolish. Roger, the college librarian had always been jealous of the better paid Wyndham librarian. Imogen is shocked and angry that in playing his prank, Roger did not consider that it left PHilip with the name of being a thief. Jack is in trouble over attacking PHilip but his death was accidental, as it was caused by the drug being tampered with. Philip's name is cleared. Then, Tracy contacts Imogen, and tells him that she's pregnant, by her dead boyfriend and she does not know if she can cope as a single mother. Imogen had been talking to Philip's mother who told her that while it hurt terribly to lose her son, she had always wanted a daughter. She contacts the lady to tell her that there is a grandchild on the way......
