Origin[]
Judith Lee is a young Victorian woman with a unique gift: she can read lips at a distance and in several languages. At a young age, Miss Lee has always been a keen social observer, and now works as a highly successful career woman, educating the deaf and dumb.
A frequenter of restaurants, cafés and teashops, her skills are prone to perceiving whispered conversations and intimate matters that often lead her into a number of adventures. With her unique skills, Miss Lee becomes sort of an international spy, allowing her to eavesdrop on ships, trains, and in far-flung cities and resorts. She is also renowned for her skills in jiu-jitsu.
Despite her low opinion of men and her desire to never marry, Miss Lee is known for helping people in distress and foiling murderers, robbers, and kidnappers. She follows up with meticulous, hands-on investigation, even if she never works for the police. She has, however, a friend at Scotland Yard who stands ready to handcuff the culprits she unmasks.
