Jeeves! Are the guests all here? What's the status of things in the kitchen? Mrs. B's not into the sherry, is she?

I'm afraid that she has been sir. I've made her up a strong coffee a short while ago, shall I pop down and see that she's better?

All your guests are gathered in the drawing room as you requested sir.

Very good, I'll go there now. Into the breach and all that. Be a good man and pop back soonest and mix my usual, will you?

I believe that Mr Davies has taken control of the drinks cabinet sir. And good luck sir.

* bangs gong in passing to inform Mr Body and other guests that have wandered off that dinner is being served *

Simon arrives in the dining room, selects a seat near the head of the table, and sits down, sipping his bourbon thoughtfully.

*bangs gong, loudly*

Simon approaches the Entrance Hall from the Kitchen, bearing a glass of water.

*June appears, empty glass in hand*

Ah Mr Davies sir, it would appear that Mr Body has been murdered.

*Runs through the parlour door, looking flustered*

Sir? Jeeves? is it a fire?

No Harry, it's something far worse. I'm afraid that Mr Body is, well, a body.

He's in the drawing room.

*visibly whitens*

*Also comes though the palour door*

Why are you making such a noise, Jeeves? Surely cook can;t be that worried if we are late for the next course?

I'm, I'm going to call the police.

*retrieves mobile phone from jacket pocket and makes a call*

Simon turns white and sits down.

The police? Why are you all standing abut looking shocked? What's going on?

'But how do you know he's dead Jeeves? surely we need a doctor?'

'Where is he? Who knows first aid?'

He's in the drawing room A87775410, and I believe he's past the aid of first aid.
