Seriozha could easily be mistaken for a "false" clue, i.e., something that was planted (who among us has earrings?).
I haven't found any more earrings yet.
-That's right!- Kash supported WisTrit, -and someone actually killed HoM[M]ie right outside my door!! Poor guy, he probably wanted to return the money to me, and then he was ambushed and stabbed with a sword! This is outrageous! And they even damaged the neighboring wall, as if they had hit it with a battering ram... Then someone was lurking near the door, but not for long, apparently the body scared him away... Luckily, they didn't break down my door!!! This is outrageous! What is the king and his guard doing?!
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
