To Superintendent Wynford, of Nocturnal Branch —
At the turn of the century, the Nocturnal Branch of the Metropolitan Police was responsible for protection against ‘troubles unseemly and occult.’ After the fallout from the Ortucchio Incident, the Branch was dismantled and its functions absorbed into the civilian Suppression Bureau.

Oh, this is very tasty indeed.
“Incorporated into abdomen.”
What a horrifying half-sentence, especially in context. Good stuff.
These posts really are brilliant. Thank you for another one.
I began to suspect around item 5 that this individual had been subverted by this “Dottore Robigo”, and found, pleasantly, that I was indeed correct. The phrasing in item 6 “through this work” has a very interesting possible second meaning, perhaps literally through that painting did he meet Dottore.
