That's none of your business!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One set was Miss Scarlett's and one was Mrs. Peacock's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was in the lounge with everyone else when we heard the news. Plum got a bit upset, so I took him and Brown to the Billiard Room for a game.
We played for a while, peter left and Brown and I got into a slight argument. Vivienne interrupted us and Brown left.
Shortly afterwards, Vivienne left me alone. I tidied up the Billiard table while I was thinking about something when Elizabeth entered.
Later, I left her in the Billiard Room and went to the Study, where I literally bumped into Mrs. White. She took me to the Lounge again, which is where we were when we heard Elizabeth scream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was going at a lady's request. Well actually by two ladies requests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest, probably yes. I'd do anything for a lady. But I DIDIN'T find him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes. I'm not actually related to her by blood. But I'm the only person she's got left.
She acts as if she hates me, but I think she sees something of herself in me. When she dies, she will have left everything to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michael does everything I ask him to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't waste the energy. Besides, I had a faithful dog to do it for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was that silly Miss Peach. She'd got herself worked up about something or other. I stayed with her for a while, and then went to the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. That's why I was so angry when I found him in the lounge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I left it in the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved Rose a thousand times more than Black ever did - he proved that when he announced his engagement tonight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went and sat down in Library for a while and read a book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made myself a sandwich in the kitchen and ate it in there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah yes. I saw the Axe in the Library. I took it down to take a closer look and accidentally took it with me when I left the room. I think I put it down just inside the Hall as I passed it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I found it in the Library.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He told me that he was leaving The Close to me because I'd been such a good friend to him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stayed in the lounge for a while and finished my drink. I then went to see Dr. Black in the study - though I actually never got to see him in the end as he was having an argument with Miss Peach at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I didn't touch it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, not as far as I can remember.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought that that was where it was kept. I thought someone must have accidentally dropped it - that's what it looked like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, but I got a creepy feeling that made me feel like someone was watching me. It was probably just all those stuffed heads that David has got hanging on the walls though. They're the first things I'll be getting rid of when Tudor Close becomes mine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to see Michael in the Billiard Room. After Michael had left me there, I adjusted my hair and dress in a mirror on the wall and then slowly made my way back to the lounge. That's when I found the body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm shocked! Have you forgotten that I'm a man of the cloth? A lot of my dearest friends were very upset with the doctor tonight; and yes I admit that the thought did cross my mind at one point - I even thought that the lord may have even wanted me too - but I could NEVER kill anyone when it came to it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. White was very upset. Of course, I can't tell you exactly what was said - that would be a breach of confidence - but she'd had a bit of a run in with Dr. Black.
We stayed in the kitchen talking for a while and when I thought I'd managed to calm her down, I went to the Library to read the good book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought I'd better not leave it near Mrs. White, so I took it with me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, Mr. Slate-Grey came in for a chat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He was with me right up until we went together to the Lounge and met everyone else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a bit of a crush on the doctor. Silly me, why would a man like him be interested in me? I was just very upset at having to find out that he was marrying someone else like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to the study to have it out with Dr. Black. I got quite upset and ended up grabbing his gun and firing at him. Luckily for him it only grazed his ear. I ran out and found the reverend in the Kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a good chat with the reverend. He convinced me that there were "plenty more fish in the sea" as it were. He calmed me down quite a bit and then left me to tidy up the kitchen - I know it's not my kitchen, but it helps my nerves to be busy. Eventually I calmed down and went to the Lounge to rest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't really know why. I was just angry at Dr. Black. I was going to have another "talk" with him about our relationship.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Er? Yes, I think I dropped it on the floor when I collided with Colonel Mustard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took it off Colonel mustard so that he didn't have an accident with it. I think I put it somewhere in the Lounge when we went back there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yes, I love her with all my heart. I'm sure that she loves me as well, she just won't admit it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I needed some sort of revenge for him stealing the woman I love, plus I'm a bit short of money at the moment. This seemed the perfect solution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I dropped it on the floor of the conservatory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I composed myself and then went to relax in the Library. I found the reverend there and we had a good chat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stayed together talking until we both went through to the Lounge to see the others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I kept the receipt in my pocket, so it must have fallen out when I removed something else from my pocket. I can't think when though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was worried about Graham. David could have killed him for embezzling from him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh! Well ... I care for him a lot; but I don't think I love him. Not really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I put it down in the hall as I passed it on my way to the Study.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, it's not in my pocket! It must have fallen out when I sat down somewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I was very upset.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, she came in to see me when I was crying. She stayed with me for a while and then left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rose and I were just messing about. It was only flirting. But Dr. Black got very worked up about it. He thought we might have been having an affair. Ridiculous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to sit down and smoke my pipe in the Ballroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to the lounge for a drink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I thought about ringing Black's neck with it, but I changed my mind after a couple of drinks. I put it down in the lounge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black had been spreading rumours that I had had an affair with Rose. Complete lies. I rely on my reputation, and Black was trying to destroy it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing. I stayed in the lounge drinking. She wasn't gone long. Unfortunately she came back with company.
