Nora however, steadfastly maintained that on the evening of the murder, she was in a restaurant with a man friend. Twiggit had found an entry in Nora's diary for that evening which, apparently, confirmed her alibi as follows : TIPS THE BRUSHED CHEFS. However, Twiggit realized that the message was coded, and that each letter could be moved either one place forwards or one place backwards in the alphabet to reveal a startling confession.
