The Cloister Scandal at Wexford College — the Penhallow evidence locker
By the time the chapel bells rang, every story matched: locked library, missing volume, a corridor of scholars who saw nothing. The rooms know better. Place every professor before the college calls its hearing. Statements were taken from all 5 professors; Tutor Penhallow's is the first page.
