I accidentally took it with me when I went to the Billiard Room. I threw it into the Library as I passed, when I realised.
No. I went straight to the Billiard Room and waited for Plum to turn up. He was late so I managed to get in a few games for practice.
That's a very private question, and I refuse to answer it. All I shall say is that Vivienne is a very beautiful young lady.
I don't really know what he could have - other than hearsay - and Mrs. Peacock would need more than that. Though, Vivienne and I were worried what his little announcement was going to be.
I don't know exactly what she meant. But no doubt it would have included her using her female charms on the old battle-axe.
What do you think would happen ?! She definitely wouldn't take it lightly. I'd be out on my ear - as would Vivienne. But I doubt she'd stop there. Never get on the wrong side of Elizabeth - she has a lot of power.
Mother! Very funny. That woman could never call me her mother. I was heading towards the lounge to look for Dr. Black when I saw the door to the Cellar ajar. I don't know what made me look inside, I just had a funny feeling. That's when I found him...
He was so angry, I thought he might hurt someone with it. I took it off him and left it on the desk in the Study.
No he wasn't. I found it very strange as the Professor said that he was in there. I just waited there for him to return. But he didn't.
I was looking in the drawers to see whether David had any evidence of my affair with Mike. But the drawer was completely empty. I closed it quickly so that the Professor wouldn't see me going through David' drawers.
How rude!! The Colonel is a very handsome man.
Maybe partly. But that's none of your business.
I still can not believe he did it. Daddy always implied that I would inherit the house on his death - it is rightfully mine after all. But when he died, we found that the only will the solicitors had was from before he married Elizabeth - which meant that it didn't hold anymore, and she got everything. I never saw that old will - but I'm sure he would have left everything to me.
He had a heart attack. It was all very sudden and unexpected.
What a strange thing to ask? I'd got some grease on my hands from the lead piping and I was wiping it off to play billiards.
I got myself a bit worked up over... I was angry with David and I was trying to find him. Luckily Miss Scarlett managed to calm me down before I could.
Yes. After I left the study with Vivienne, I went back for it and put it back in the Conservatory. I really don't know why - I just did.
No - but I heard Mike playing in the Billiard Room as I was returning the Lead Piping. That made me realise just how late I was - so I quickened my pace.
Oh... She was ... killed at a party at Tudor Close about a year ago. They never found the person who did it ... though that would never bring her back...
I don't know - I certainly never told her. I should think she must have gussed after all those years.
Of course he did - he was never interested in her until I told him how much I loved her. Then, all of a sudden, he was "in love" with her. He always had to do better than me.
Oh, it was just a piece of cloth that I found on the floor of the Conservatory when I put the Lead Piping back. I think it might be a lady's shawl.
That's a bit embarrassing actually. I hoped you wouldn't ask that. Dr. Black had a number of items in his collection that he stole from Arlington Grange. One of which was a dagger that was a Scarlett family heirloom. I stayed in the lounge trying to get the cabinet open. It took me quite a while, but I managed to do it.
He thinks that they are actually Black family heirlooms from the 16th Century. But they're not; and he had no right to take them.
I don't know - but I have my suspicions. I think he may have been able to "persuade" a member of my staff to steal them for him. I've known Blanche for years now; and I would trust her with my life; but I think she may have taken them as she's fallen for David.
I suspected something was going on. But there was nothing I could do. I was just hoping that when we were married, he would be a bit more faithful.
I was going to look for Michael in the Billiard Room; but Vivienne's screaming stopped me.
Yes, they were very close. They went to school together and had been best friends ever since. I think, when Jack died, David was almost as upset as I was.
He suffered a heart attack about ten months ago ... I'm sorry .. it still upsets me to talk about it.
It was just lying on the floor in the library when I went in there. It shook me up a bit - why was it in there? I felt that it had been left there for me...
I was very upset. I think I may have been about to do something really silly when, when Miss. Scarlett screamed.
That's a very private matter that I would rather not go into. All I shall say is that it will have no baring on your case.
I needed to calm down and flick through the good book. So I went to the Library as I thought it would be quiet there.
No, I went straight there.
I didn't actually see him - but I could hear someone playing Billiards in there.
Just after I had opened my bible in the library, I heard a loud bang come from the direction of the kitchen. That was the only bang I heard.
I just put it down on the table. I left it there.
The only bang I heard was when I dropped the silverware on the floor in the kitchen. That rug is extremely dangerous. I can't imagine why anyone would put something so silly in a kitchen. I would never allow it in mine.
I was a little upset, you see; so I thought I'd throw myself into some work. I went to the Dining Room and started to tidy things up a bit. That's when I saw Reverend Green pass by. Oh, he was in a terrible state, the poor thing. I managed to calm him down and send him off to the library. I then took a few things through to the kitchen to clean up - I can't believe David would even think of leaving those dishes dirty - there was a lot to do; and I was still there when I heard Miss. Scarlett scream.
Yes, I took it into the kitchen when I was tidying the Dining Room. It was one of the items I accidentally dropped on the floor.
Oh ... I don't know what to say ... I'm so embarrassed ... Mrs. Peacock would never forgive me if she found out. David said that they were rightfully Black property - and that I would just be returning them. Oh, I know I shouldn't have done it. Please don't tell her.
Angry doesn't go anyway near describing it. I couldn't believe it. After everything I'd done for him. I threw myself into some hard work to take my mind off it.
