We imagine ourselves in 1841. Thomas Ainsworth is the successful director of the local agency of the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij (NHM), with its own textile weaving mill on the banks of the Regge. He is 45 and in the prime of his life. Until, on February 13, 1841, he is found dead in the Gentlemen's Room of Havezate Eversberg, the place where he lives and has his office…. What has happened to the man who has been busy getting the textile industry in Twente off the ground in recent decades? Is it a coincidence that Thomas almost became the victim of several accidents that month? What is the role of the NHM? And why does the name of Douwes Dekker, the author of the famous book 'Max Havelaar, the coffee auction of the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij' appear in this story? Instructions are given in English, giving a real authentic gentlemen's room atmosphere!
