* RiddleForTheAges: Who on earth are Archibald Smifft's unseen parent(s), only identified as "X Smifft"? They're incredibly rich, leaving an infant Archibald at the doorstep of a boarding school in an expensive bassinet and paying for his continued stay there with a bag of rubies each school term for 11 years. They also have terrible spelling skills, as seen by the barely-readable note they left in said bassinet (which is odd, because with that much money they should at least be able to afford a decent education). Clearly they're still alive and keeping an eye on Archibald in some manner, if they remember to send the school a sack of rubies every term to keep him there, but why couldn't or wouldn't they raise him themselves, and why did they never even bother to contact him?
