Here's info about the other adds:

Missing Cat is a reference to

a play called Bell, Book and Candle. It's about a woman who casts a love spell on her neighbor. Ironic place, over the MM ad? The cat belonged to the main character Gillian Holroyd (GH) who was a witch. She falls for her neighbor and foresakes her powers, thus the cat, her familiar, leaves her. Jimmy Stewart played the love interest in his last romantic lead.

The line about the dead woman seems to be

a quote from a book called "Trials of Love; or a Woman's Reward - A Romance of Real Life". Can't find much on the book.

Totally confused by the rest, but the alchemy reference in INTERNATIONAL SPY may be of interest with examination.

Re the assistance came too late:

SPOILER: Click to show

the book is available on Google books. The interesting thing is the line appears to be a quote in it, as it is italics. The context is a father is rememberin out loud to his daughter about how her mother died.

There is a discussion in a Victorian journal that talks about that exact ad actually appearing in a paper at some point. I wonder if the book is quoting the personal as well, rather than being the original source of the quote.

Todd: I applied for a job and they asked if I had a police record. I said "what does my taste in music have to do with anything?" Sept 1, 2020 18:24:51 GMT -5

diggitydoodog: I've had dubious documents for 2 years now and finally went to work on it. Would anyone on here be willing to PM me the answer or post it in a spoiler so I can check the solution? Sept 17, 2020 11:44:39 GMT -5

Todd: Did you hear about the dwarfish fortune teller who broke out of jail? Police are on the lookout for a small medium at large. Oct 15, 2020 21:35:58 GMT -5
