Another possible take on A&I Properties is that the 'A' is for 
Ambrosius. That would make Mr. Isaacs, the surviving partner, be 
Goldwurm. Goldwurm is a well-known Jewish surname.

That doesn't exclude Ted being Ambrosius and Hardaway being Goldwurm. 
Doris has 'been around' and may have been sleeping with her boss (p. 
156). Doris may have betrayed her husband to Goldwurm. I don't believe 
she is ignorant about the ring or she wouldn't have asked for it back 
when she turned against Bax (p. 274).

The Dennis Quilp/Dick Quist/Quorn connection looks good. Common initials 
were key in "An Evil Guest," so why not here? Cathy is raped by Quorn, 
possibly a different form of Quist, her future father-in-law (p. 190).  
On that same page the gem in the ring has upgraded to a star sapphire. I 
like the idea that it becomes more valuable as it stores numen.
