h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good timing, Simon.

Simon picks up his glass, and with a last furtive glance toward Maria, heads toward the dining room.

*Maria pretends not to notice Simon's glance and follows him to the dining room.*

*enters the drawing room, notices it's empty*

*helps herself to a very large rum and adds a a dash of coke*

*heads to the dining room*

*walks into the drawing room holding a glass of wine and the mobile phone*

Hello?

Excuse me sir, oh.

*Marisol flings open the door and, seeing the Body on the floor, flings herself on top of it, sobbing*

Simon follows behind Marisol, holding onto the furniture for support.

*June follows Simon*

*See Marisol on the floor*

*smiles slightly, checks herself and starts to cry*

*Enters the room, is visibly shaken by what he sees*

*Forgets his status and collapses in one of the plush sofas - head in hands*

Simon pulls himself together, and clears his throat.

"Well, now that the police are on their way, perhaps we should retire to the Library for coffee or tea? Perhaps Jeeves could see his way clear to bring the dessert there? I'm sure we'd all feel a little better with some sugar and stimulant in us."

*Marisol howls more loudly*

enters
sees Marisol wailing over Mr. Body's corpse


You... murdering tart! You just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you!

hurls herself across the room and falls on Marisol


Get off him you, you, witch!

*June leaves the drawing and heads for the library*

Ladies, that will be quite enough of that.

Thank you. Now, if you will please make your way to the library.

Harry *nudges Harry until he wakes up* ah, good, you're back with us. If you could please go to the library.

*Harry rouses himself when he sees the commotion on the floor and starts to pull the ladies to their feet*

*Marisol leaps to her feet*

You old lush! You probably confused bleach with the cooking wine!! Look at you! You reek of alcohol!!!

Lush? I'll give you lush, you pilfering cow! Think I never noticed how the Cabernet '83 vanished, all 4 cases of it, just before your last little book party?

*swings wildly at Marisol, misses, and lands on the floor again*

notices the silence
belatedly realizes she is in the drawing room by herself

composes herself and follows the sound of voices

(I want to examine the body. In particular I want to know if he still has his gun and phone.)
