But it's OBVIOUS, Lewis. Sapphira is an anagram of "A Paris pH". Ph being a measure
of acidity this means that we're talking about cheap French wine. Ananias had
stumbled on a plot to make cheap French wine taste better by adding pineapple juice
to it (which I won't need to tell you, Lewis, we know from the from the fact that
Ananias is itself an anagram of "I, Ananas" and Ananas is German for pineapple).
So the butler did them both in.
