Opera singers are often described as being larger than life, and certainly this is true of Gaylene Ffrench. Her appetites--for men, for booze, for attention--are gargantuan, and her ability to irritate is similarly outsized.

In fact, most of the company members are dancing a jig, and it falls on Superintendent Nichols to determine which of them might have helped Gaylene along to her just reward.
