Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Is the sign on a pregnancy test?

Did he learn that he had married her under false pretenses and uh, kinda overreacted?

Did her hand appear different than "usual"? If so, was this difference something that a person not knowing any relevant circumstances find odd in any way?

If there was a difference about her hand, was it an addition? Omission? Change in physical characteristics [nail color, for example]?

Did her hand appear different than "usual"? [In her case, not really.]
If so, was this difference something that a person not knowing any relevant circumstances find odd in any way? [A person would not find it odd in any way. Maybe a little uncommon, but that could just be my opinion.]

If there was a difference about her hand, was it an addition? [No] Omission? [No] Change in physical characteristics [Yes] [nail color, for example]? [No]

So there was a change in physical characteristics of her hand... that was clearly noticable... but not necessarily out-of-the-ordinary to the casual observer... and her husband noticed the difference... which led him to realize that she had been unfaithful... and therefore shot her...

Does a wedding ring have anything to do in any way with the difference?
Was it her left hand? Right?

Was there something relevantly unique about this particular woman?

Would her hand be considered "normal" to the casual observer at the time of her shooting? Before the general time of the shooting?

Was it her left hand? Right? [It wasn't her left _or_ right hand.]
