Madeleine Smith
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

According to the chapter in Pearson, Madeleine also attempted to purchase prussic acid. Like the supposed Lizzie she was refused without a doctor's order. This was in 1856. She claimed it was for rats that had infested the gardens on her family's estate. However, she was successful in obtaining arsenic.
