* UnsuspectedSousing: Campion has this done to him when BluffingTheMurderer he accepts a dinner invitation and is manipulated by the MagnificentBastard into having a cocktail.

Fortunately Campion had asked (in the books) Inspector Oates for a few plain clothes policemen to watch over him, otherwise the murderer would have gotten away with pushing the inebriated Campion beneath a train.
