Lord Arthur Savile was a young man belonging to the English nobility,
engaged with a woman, Sybil, whom he was going to get married.
Lord Arthur was upset. He left the reception and slept a bit, and then
he decided that he had to fulfill his destiny before marrying Sybil, not
to make her suffer.
He made a list of all the people he knew, and decided to kill Lady
Clementine, an old relative. He carried out a library research, found a
good poison to use, bought it and brought it to Lady Clementine as a
medicine.

bridge over the Thames, he met the cheiromantist, and he decided to
kill him. So he pulled him into the river. Everybody thought that he
committed suicide.
