Question:::
What are tree mistake in this sentence?
---
The story had made Ilizaveta very sad. The poor girl was killed by the man she loved. It was horrible! She leaned back in her bed as she re-read what Dacy had written. It seemed that what he said was true. But maybe it was just the last ramblings of a man who was about to be executed. Maybe he had hoped that one day someone would read it and his name would be clear.
She knew Layton would try his hardest to solve this mystery. He always tried his hardest. But Ilizaveta had a bad feeling deep down in her stomach. Something was wrong.
--
Layton stood on the balcony outside of his room. If the banshee was going to cry out he would certainly hear it. But was it really a banshee? Or just someone using it as a cover to kill? How many had Mister O'Donnell said had been killed? Eight or nine? That was horrible. The murders seemed to be random. There was no real m.o. ... The only thing that was a connecting mark between them all was the small silver comb that O'Donnell said belonged to the banshee. Layton was determined to get that comb when the next murder took place. If one took place. He would try not to let one happen but he could make no promises. That's what distressed him the most. He couldn't promise the safety of anyone even those he held closest.
---
The next day came quickly. Layton and the others headed downstairs for breakfast. The house was very quiet and everyone could feel a heaviness hanging in the air. Layton could hear crying downstairs and he gulped a bit. What had he missed while sleeping?
They all ran down the stairs and came to a halt at the bottom. There on the ground sat the maid crying over the body of a dead man. The man had been stabbed several times in the chest.
"Miss!" Layton slowly pulled the maid away from the man's body. "Who is he?"
"He's my brother!" The maid wailed. "The butler of the household. Who would do this?"
"I don't know Miss." Layton replied gently lifting her off the ground. "I'll help you up to your room. Ilizaveta!"
Ilizaveta jumped. "Yes?" She asked her voice shaky.
"Take that silver comb with you."
Ilizaveta nodded then looked at Luke and Flora. Poor Flora looked as though she would faint at any second. Ilizaveta grabbed the comb quickly and then turned to Flora and Luke. "Okay up stairs." She said taking Flora's small shoulders. "Lets go. We have to tell Mister O'Donnell."
Flora nodded. "Thank you." She mouthed.
Ilizaveta nodded and turned to Luke. "Come on Luke." She said.
"Coming Miss Veta." He replied shuttering.
---
Ilizaveta was troubled. Children shouldn't have seen the scene downstairs. What if it upset them? She knew it had upset Flora. She didn't know about Luke. He didn't show any sign of weakness. Ilizaveta was upset that was certain. Every time she closed her eyes she saw that poor man.
The comb was odd ... It was silver with jade designs around it. It was a lovely comb but it seemed very very old. She felt the sides and the teeth. It was indeed something a higher class girl would have. But why did Layton want it? Was it important? Oh yes! The comb had been at every murder scene only to disappear! That was it. But it was hard to imagine the person using this comb using a knife as well. She sighed and sat it down to await the Professor's arrival.

"Murdered! Professor this is terrible." Mister O'Donnell shook his head and took a sip of his brandy. "This is awful. He was a valued servant and friend of mine. This is horrible."
"Did no one hear the Banshee's scream last night?" Layton asked.
"I heard something outside but I don't know." O'Donnell replied.
"I did manage to get Miss Ilizaveta to grab the silver comb." Layton said. "Maybe it can provide some insight."
"What? Professor make her put it back!" O'Donnell looked scared. "If she has that comb she could be next. Professor I urge you to throw it outside. She will come back for her comb. And if she does your lady friend could be in danger."
"Sir I don't believe Ilizaveta is in any danger. That comb is a comb and nothing else. It will not summon some supernatural creature."
"Professor Layton I urge you please. For her safety."
"Why are you so concerned Mister O'Donnell?" Layton asked suddenly. "Why are you so concerned for Ilizaveta. You do not know her."
"She looks so like my late wife Professor." O'Donnell replied. "I guess she reminds me of what could have been."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what could have been if Bridget had lived and Colleen had not gone missing."
"I see." Layton looked thoughtful for a moment. "So she reminds you of both your wife and your daughter?"
"Yes."
"Any idea what happened to Miss Colleen?"
"There was a suspicious looking man around the time she went missing who claimed he was looking for an apprentice of sorts." O'Donnell said. "He took an interest in Colleen but of course we wouldn't allow her to go."
"And no one looked in on him? No one checked?"
"Of course they did!" O'Donnell exclaimed. "But he was gone. The man simply vanished. Now Professor not to be rude but please. This is painful for me. I do not wish to discuss it. Rather let us get back to the case at hand."
"I apologize sir." Layton replied bowing his head kindly. "Yes the case at hand. Have all the victims been stabbed?"
"No Professor. A few were shot and some strangled and hung. One was crushed. Horrible site to see really."
Layton's face shifted a bit. "I .. I see." He said trying to regain his composure. It was indeed disturbing some of the things he heard. But he had to keep a professional air.
"Yes Professor. I tell you the blasted thing is horrible! The way she gets rid of people. But I can't understand why ..."
"I do not know sir. But do you keep a will by any chance?"
"Yes I do why?"
"May I look at it?"
"Of course Professor." O'Donnell went to a vault and grabbed a bundle of papers.
"Thank you. May I look these over?"
"Of course." O'Donnell left the room and left Professor Layton to his reading.
---
The will was long. What shocked Layton was most of the money was going to Colleen. Bain was getting a bit of the money what anyone would consider a fortune but Colleen was getting the bulk of the estate. ... Yet she was missing.
"Hmm ..." Layton quickly left the room carrying the papers with him.
---
"Ilizaveta I need some insight dear." Layton lay the papers in front of her.
"Excuse me?" She asked.
"Please read these over. Do you find it as odd as I do?"
It didn't take Ilizaveta long to read over the papers. "Why Colleen is receiving the bulk! But isn't she gone presumed dead?"
"Exactly."
"Professor I don't understand."
"I don't I do fully just yet ... But maybe I do."
---
"Luke! Flora! Please come here a moment." Ilizaveta was worried about the two.
"Yes?" They asked running in.
"Now are you two okay? After what you saw this morning?"
"I'm better Miss Ilizaveta." Flora replied. "I think it was just shock."
"I understand Flora. Luke?"
"Yes I'm fine Miss Veta. Just I guess kind of sad. You know?" Luke looked up. "I mean that poor guy is dead."
"Luke lets not talk like that okay?" Ilizaveta asked.
"Alright. Gosh do you think they'll find who did it?" Luke asked.
"I hope so!" Flora exclaimed. "I mean I don't like staying here if there is a murderer!"
"I don't like it either Flora." Ilizaveta said slowly. "But we have to help the Professor."
"Yes!" The two children exclaimed smiling cheerfully.
