## Explanation

Loveday's method combines meticulous observation, logical deduction, and a rejection of obvious explanations, contrasting with the police's reliance on conventional theories or the public's belief in supernatural or sensational causes.

Loveday and Griffiths both use deductive reasoning, but they also rely on intuition and observation, as seen in Loveday's immediate association of the crime scene with an undergraduate prank.

Loveday's methodical approach contrasts with Mr. Dyer's reliance on 'obvious' explanations. She uses heraldry research and passenger lists to form a rational theory, while Mr. Dyer dismisses the dagger sketches as a puzzle or joke.

Loveday uses logical deduction to connect the ghost to a religious sect, contrasting with the inspector's initial dismissal of the case as a 'vulgar scare.'
