The stance that Rose had taken to help him encouraged him to listen carefully to everything she said and watch what she did.
Even putting the various poisons into safer quantities made sense should Edward try to poison him. While she was talking they both put some clothes on although Henry was disappointed that he could no longer see Rose's perfect body, but then this was not the time to think of her in that way. He was surprised when she pulled out what at first looked like a cudgel but when he saw it close up it looked as though it had been designed and made with a specific purpose in mind. His suspicions were confirmed when she demonstrated the hidden power of it. He was comforted to know that 'when', not 'IF' Edward took control of his mind and body Rose would be able to defend herself.
'He has a taste of blood and not sure how much you can remember, but he has taken out four women from Mrs. Farraday's place. I had to clean up his mess a few times for her, taking out women because they are prostitutes is despicable but he also threatened me before you took control. I am starting to wonder if he is Jack The Ripper, do you know if he has your knowledge as a doctor?'
Rose's question set Henry to thinking and he shared his thoughts with Rose,
"I know nothing of Edward or his previous life so I cannot say if he has a doctor's knowledge, however when he is in the ascendancy he seems able get inside my head so I suppose it is quite possible that he could use my knowledge. You must know and believe me my love, I have no memory of what occurs when Edward is on the rampage."
He crossed over to Rose and enveloped her in his arms and in between kissing her he said.
"I think we have made more progress in the last two hours than I have alone in two weeks, together we will find the answer."
