There must have been some post-trial publicity for the press to already be being associating Harriet and LPW at the start of HHC. But it is odd Trial II is never mentioned. Clearly I just want Harriet to have further torment/be thrown together with Peter.
I have no idea how long it takes to become immune to arsenic. Perhaps U. found out because he genuinely did start taking the arsenic as an anti-aging quack treatment. If I got really speculative, how long does it take to ingest arsenic? Could Urquhart just have whizzed to the loo and thrown up his dinner?
It also strikes me that Harriet's major explanation of how she feels about her experience is in the SCR in GN, when she's (a) not wanting to talk about her actual feelings for reasons of personal privacy, and (b) not wanting to talk about her actual feelings because she's trying to be rational and unemotional (and fit in with the dons). So it would make sense that she didn't talk about it there, since Miss Edwards is interested in the investigation rather than the trial
