" The Abbey of St Isosceles
"
" Although the Abbey was built by WPA
workers in 1936 it is a brilliant
amalgam of ecclesiastic eclecticism.
Each of the seven buildings and the
imposing gate has its own architectural
"charm, but perhaps this is not the time
"for appreciation of the arts, eh,
Inspector?

The first version of the mys-adventure didn't have the pseudo-
sophisticated babble about the various architectural styles found in
the Abbey. Calhoon always liked to give the impression that
"exhaustive research had been done, but rarely had the energy to look
"any further than his own modest library of unusual, often subversive,
literature. And even then he preferred to just make things up as he
went along.
