Sosise târgul ambulant: orga cu aburi cânta, caii caruselului se roteau întruna în jurul stâlpului central pictat, iar un cărucior de floricele – cea mai nouă minune venită din America – atrăgea o mulțime de copii. Vesta, doamna conacului, căreia îi aparținea pajiștea, anunțase în dimineața aceea că târgul nu va mai fi lăsat niciodată să se întoarcă. După-amiaza a fost găsită moartă la toneta cu dulciuri, lângă căruciorul de floricele. Patru persoane se aflaseră aproape de ea și fiecare a făcut câte o scurtă declarație – găsește-o pe cea care a fost singură cu ea.","rules":{"standard":["Fiecare <b>rând</b> și fiecare <b>coloană</b> conține exact <b>o persoană</b>.
