evelyn ch 33 through ch 50

ch 33 - he's the butler again for one page
ch 34 - he's an old man named Edward Dance.  He meets with some other old men.  They go to meet with Old Man Hardcastle.  They're all being blackmailed by Stanton.  Hardcastle has found he has a bastard child.  If they can find the child and threaten to expose Stanton, they can stop the blackmail.  The tricky part is it's Daniel Coleridge.  If they do this they'll owe him a favor.  Aiden is in cause he knows Daniel is him.  Funny statement du jour "We climb out of one pocket and into another."
ch 35 - narrator stays behind to talk to Peter.  He tells him evelyn is going to be murdered.  Peter is concerned this will screw up their deal with ravencourt.   Peter has never heard of this other girl.  Also we get the story that the reason ravencourt wants to get married is to squash rumors that he is the homosexual.

Narrator figures out originally evelyn's death was a fake suicide.  She shoots herself with a blank, breaks a bottle of blood and then has paid off the doctor to proclaim her dead.  But the murderer knows this and really kills her.  Guessing by replacing the blank with a real bullet.  He tells evelyn this and tells her to make nice with Johnathan Derby cause somehow getting his silver gun is important.
