Regina

Fanart by Shyranno

Mrs. Regina Wilhelmina is Primrose Patterson's housekeeper. She is a very proper-looking woman with bobbed white hair. While performing her duties as housekeeper, she wears a simple black dress and carries keys at her waist. She has a niece, Trina Wilhelmina. A high-ranking member of the Cadbury Club for Those Who Serve, she is evaluating the Servant for admission into the Inner Circle. Regina's drink of choice is Earl Grey tea with two sugars and a splash of milk.

## Tally Ho

### Chapter 2

If the Servant misses their train at Paddington Station, Regina offers to take them as far as Brooks Crossing on her motorcycle. During the ride, she instructs the Servant to call her "Midnight Thorn" and proposes to call them "Dandelion." The Servant may suggest their own code name, but if their suggestions are excessively sassy, Regina makes them walk to Ritornello.

Regina reveals that the Servant is being considered for admission into the Inner Circle and will be evaluated over the coming days. When the two are pursued by a red car, either Regina or the Servant engages in a shootout with their pursuers while the other drives. If the chase goes badly, Regina tells the Servant to eat a letter written in sparkly pink ink, vaguely rose-scented, and addressed to "the Honorable Mr. D\_\_\_\_ G\_\_\_\_." If they fail to do so, Regina eats the letter herself. Shortly before their arrival at the Honorable Mr. D\_\_\_\_ G\_\_\_\_'s house, she reveals that the letter contains explicit discussion—including a very compromising limerick—of a gentleman's thoughts on his unsuitable love interest.

While Regina is inside, Inspector Ambrose approaches the Servant. When she exits the house, she signals the Servant to get rid of the inspector. Finally, she drops the Servant off at Brooks Crossing and leaves to perform a sensitive mission before traveling to Ritornello.

### Chapter 3

The Servant may meet Regina for the first time at Ritornello. If they show her Valentine Hartlock's letter of introduction allegedly from the Inner Circle, she declares the letter a fraud and is shaken by the news of an enemy agent. She tells the Servant that there is an evildoer at Ritornello who means to do Mrs. Primrose harm. Regina requests the Servant's assistance, telling them to choose between searching the guest rooms for compromising information during the upcoming foxhunt and staying with the foxhunt to shrewdly interrogate the guests.

### Chapter 4

If the Servant investigates Regina's quarters, they find that "her accommodations are cramped and incredibly spartan." She has a narrow wardrobe, an undecorated wooden hatstand with a few black hats on it, and a sharply made bed with plain dark-gray sheets and a bright blue envelope resting on the pillow. The envelope reads "Top Secret Information" in bold letters.

If the Servant looks closely, they spot a nearly invisible thread connecting the bright blue envelope to the light fixture behind the bed. Moving the envelope opens a panel in the wall, unleashing a canister labeled "Poison Gas Trap." Moving the letter also opens a second booby trap in the floor, where there is a toothless Gila monster named Shambles. If the Servant opens the envelope, they find a letter lightly praising their merit and criticizing their sense.

If the Servant has done work for her, Regina asks for their report after the foxhunt. She considers what the information could mean and tells the Servant how she rates their performance.

### Chapter 5

Regina liberally laces one slice of banana-walnut pie with truth serum. She sends the pie to the person disguised as Professor Clarence Q. Hickory (either Figaro "Figs" Fairfield or the Servant). If Figs is "Professor Hickory," Regina alerts the Servant to her scheme. She is upset if the Servant prevents Figs from eating the pie. If "Professor Hickory" eats or seems to eat the pie, she asks him who he is.

Regina tells the Servant that there will be a mission that night. She tells them to join her in the servants' dining room in a few minutes to conduct a little business. In the servants' dining room, Regina and Carlington confront Valentine about there being no paperwork to prove that Mrs. Primrose hired them. While Carlington's focus is on the paperwork, Regina cares more for justice. The two may dismiss Valentine.

### Chapter 6

Regina uses a flashing light to send a Morse code message from the East Tower alerting the Servant to come for an urgent inner circle meeting. She has learned the Colonel Firesnuff is going to a secret meeting at Miavaldi Manor and wants the Servant to pose as Mrs. Primrose's chauffeur. Once there, the Servant is to learn the nature of the threat he poses and prevent it. Meanwhile, Regina will protect the house against Light-Fingered Lou. She offers to demonstrate a secret Inner Circle technique of their choosing to the Servant.

Regina sends her niece Trina to be the Servant's partner on this mission. If the Servant betrays Trina, she says that her aunt taught her that everyone betrays everyone. Regina receives a full report about the mission from her niece.

### Chapter 7

Inspector Ambrose may accuse Regina of recruiting a gang of thieves to do her bidding and subsequently arrest her. If she is arrested, she finds her cell "very untidy." If the Servant comes to rescue her, she finds the amount of time they take "acceptable" but a trifle too long.

### Chapter 8

Regina is pleased if the Servant has prevented the publication of *Tawdry Lace* by Fifi Buttercup and displeased if they have not. At the end of the chapter, Regina tells the Servant whether they have been accepted into the Inner Circle.

### Epilogue

If the Servant has joined the Inner Circle, she drops the Servant off near home after a mission.
