Q15: Who:
i: was morally pure in EC2?
ii: shot Buffalo Bill at Belvedere, Ohio?
iii: went to the wrong church for her wedding?
iv: believed, erroneously, that Byron murdered Ezra Chater?
v: killed Lord Frederick in a duel, following his return from Belgium?
vi: possessed nothing but the contents of his wallet, the clothes he stood up in, the hare-lip, the automatic he should have left behind?
vii: was as little interested in love as in the habits of Trematodes?
viii: wore white for her immolation on October 27?
ix: advocated unlimited slaughter of bluejays?
x: posed as Doctor Copernicus?

the rules as they have evolved:
a: nice full answers and anecdotes if poss
b: say if googled or no; leave time for non-googlers to play
c: obviously look ahead at future questions if you want
d: don't bring in confirming or dissenting answers from other fora until next set is up and running

(hadn't time for ketchup at weekend but there's only two more Qs after this -- so await grand ketchup v.soon)

spoilers no bells rung, unless vii is sherlock holmes

EC2

EC2 is mainly the City of London and comprises:

Broadgate/Liverpool Street, Spitalfields, Cheapside/Gresham Street/Mansion House, Threadneedle Street (Bank), Bishopsgate, Barbican/Chiswell Street/Bunhill Row, Moorgate/Finsbury Circus and Shoreditch (or at least parts thereof - the rest is in E1 I think).

Does that give any clues?

"The Pure Woman of [something] Street"???

Oh! I was doing exactly the same thing.

Pure:

# Free from evil and corruption: angelic, angelical, clean, innocent, lily-white, sinless, unblemished, uncorrupted, undefiled, unstained, unsullied, untainted, virginal.

# Morally beyond reproach, especially in sexual conduct: chaste, decent, modest, nice, virgin, virginal, virtuous.

via google, I was more or less right about the construction, viz it's "A [word meaning pure] [word meaning female] in [street in EC2]"

word meaning pure = one of Marna's above
Street in EC2 = one of the ones I mentioned above

final clue: the literary work is from the early 17th century
