      V téhle knize je tolik vzrušujících věcí a napínavých momentů — ukradený diamant, špehující stájníci, slavný detektiv, láska, francouzské banánky s kyselou okurkou, že se skutečně zdá ostudné začít s dámským spodním prádlem... Všechno to začalo tím, že si lady Lumprechtová povolila korzet. Následkem „Uvolnění“ je, že všechna přísná pravidla na zámku Skuhrov se přestanou dodržovat.

    • Dwight dělá spoustu výstředností, jako třeba že celý měsíc chodí v jednom tričku nebo po všech lidech chce, aby mu říkali „kapitán Dwight“. Je to trapné, zvlášť pro Tommyho, který s ním každý den sedí u oběda. Jenže Dwight umí i jednu skvělou věc. Skládá origami. Jednou poskládá prstovou loutku Yody. A tehdy se začnou dít zvláštní věci. Origami Yoda umí předvídat budoucnost a navrhovat nejlepší způsob, jak se vypořádat s lecjakou ošemetnou situací.
