"This sculpture's finger is missing. Can anyone see it?"
"No fingers over here," Millie called back. There wasn't much of anything, aside from dust, but it was pretty dark even with the torches and lanterns. The lanterns, incidentally, had apparently caught James and Wilmet's attention, and they were trying to work out if the coloured lights meant anything. Millie herself couldn't think of an explanation...maybe it was something to do with magic. Or perhaps stained glass had been in fashion when the crypt was built.
"Why is one hand open and one clenched into a fist?"
The big armoured chap had a point. A fist seemed out of place with the whole dearly departed, rest-in-peace thing. Millie went over to have a better look at the sarcophagus. Normally she rather liked puzzles, but then again, there was usually money involved.
Turning to the knight Millie raised her hand, with three fingers up - copying the carved hand with the missing finger. "Maybe the dead chap got his finger bitten off. Happened to somebody I knew back home in Lesser Burkington. That, or we have to find three of something."
