*Sweeps into the room*

*enters with wine glass in hand*

*Walks up very close to June and speaks quietly.*

Let's not pretend now, Julie.

I know you stole my story. I remember the day the manuscript went missing and I didn't find it for hours. I remember very well that it was after you had read it.

I don;t know how you have persuaded Abel to pay for your lawyers, but you won't get away with this.

*June smiles at Marisol*

Abel's a *very* accomodating man, as I'm sure you'll remember.

I wouldn't hold my breath, if I were you, Mar...


*flounces out in search of more wine*

*Frowns. Frowns long and hard. Moves towards the door. Stumbles...*

*Recovers but not without spilling the last of her wine all over her dress.*

Oh foo.

*Leaves the room and makes her way upstairs, where she knows the toilets are.*

Simon Davies walks into the Library and switches on the lights, wishing he had a nice glass of port or sherry with him.

*enters the library, looks around for a drink*

*walks into the library with an unsteady Mrs McBiscuit*

*Follows them in. Huddles in a chair as far away from everyone else as possible*

*hands Marisol a hanky* There, there dear.

Ah, I believe that is all of us here.

If the police would like to ask their questions in here?

The characters will remain here for the next 48 hours to answer your questions. Please bear in mind that the people playing them have to sleep and go to work, so you may not get an immediate response to your questions.

Feel free to wander around the house, to read the back log, and when you believe you have worked out who did it, how they did it, and why they did it, please email the [email protected] with your guesses.

I guess the first thing would be could someone please describe the condition and position and any other pertinent things about the body to us please?

The room descriptions should contain what is needed.

Jeeves, you're the butler of this estate, correct? You must know a great deal about the goings-on here and the various relations Mr. Body had with all these people. What can you tell me about Miss June Somers there? I understand she recently published a book, though I haven't read it myself.

Oh, and one other thing, where were you when the murder occurred? Having taken testimony from everyone, I've only been able to confirm the whereabouts of Maria Morgan, Simon Davies, Marisol Fonseca, and June Somers. You understand.

*Enters the library after all the commotion, a little unsteady on her feet. Spots Simon and gets her glass of water.*

*whining* I only wanted to know if there was a knife sticking out of his body, a bullet hole, a rope, drool surely someone can supply that?

he appeared to have a bump on his head madam

but his face looked contorted, and he appeared to be clutching his stomach
