  Umm... Obvious?   Isn't there a problem with time here?

   Ah!  So that's how you get around this one.  Care to explain why

   I had hoped that Wolfe was a great writer.  From this mailing

have the butler just coincidentally be the father of Lord Billings
*and* be the brother-in-law of the deceased.
