The Sketch on the Bench

Jada, Gabe and Vera visited the town museum together. Each spent most of the visit in a different room and carried one thing.

  1. Whoever was in the fossil hall had the umbrella.
  2. Jada was not in the café.
  3. Vera did not have the camera.
  4. Jada had the sketchbook.

A lovely sketch of a fossil was left on a bench in the clock room, beside the sketchbook. Who was in the clock room with the sketchbook?
