Lord Leconmere

In the short story Swan Song, Lord Leconmere is one of the guests at a private performance of "Tosca" organised by Lord Rustonbury. Leconmere, who is described as a connoisseur of music, attended the event together with a friend of his who is a foreign ambassador. When the male lead Edouard Bréon is fatally stabbed during the performance, Leconmere, like the rest of the audience, is inclined to think of it as an unfortunate mishap. However Blanche Amery, Lord Rustonbury's daughter tells him that she believes is not an accident.
