I had bet against David on a horse race a month or so ago… Unfortunately for me, Lucky was not as lucky as I had thought… Black said that if I didn’t pay up he would tell Mrs. Peacock that I was having an affair with Miss Scarlett.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is none of your business!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes... Some how she found out... Thanks to Black, I’m sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, he was set on his ideas from the beginning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to the Hall with Vivienne for a few minutes then met up with Elizabeth in the Lounge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vivienne was... erm... very upset with Black. She even handed me a length of rope from the Hall wardrobe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Vivienne left me, I just threw it aside and left the room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suppose so... David had helped me pay for my new Ferrari and a few other little things... I didn’t realize he would want the money back so soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, that. Well, to be perfectly honest with you, I hate my step-mother. She married my father for his money and got exactly that! Every penny of it... She is withholding all of my rightful inheritance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I had other things on my mind...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe you know the answer to that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, I followed Michael to the Hall, and then went to the Study to see what I could find. After that I decided I would have a chat with Elizabeth in the Lounge. I was on my way when I found... David...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. No one was in there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was attempting to persuade Mike to do a favor for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I don’t think so...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, he had. David heavily funded my studies of the Standing Eclipse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

David had told me that he was going to take all his funds out of the project. If he did that there would be nothing to support the expenses. All of my work would be washed down the drain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took the revolver from David’s desk...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took it with me to the Library... I believe I accidentally dropped it on my way out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Detective, I am a man of science. I do not follow superstitions and the like. Fascinating to study, but there is no fact behind fiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh... I was just saying that maybe David will get what he has coming to him after all...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stayed in the Dining Room the whole time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes... actually he had... I needed a little help with the upkeep of Arlington Grange, recently... The maintenance bills have been so high lately... I still have no idea why David suddenly decided to withdraw all the loans he had given...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vivienne has become quite a problem these days... When the girl does not have her way, she throws a tantrum. Simple as that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh... It’s really hard for me to remember. I was very upset... Uhm... I don’t remember actually leaving the Lounge with it though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel so silly... I thought I might try and break the lock off his desk drawer so I could read his document... Luckily, they were already scattered all over the floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes... I found a letter addressed to Michael, from David, threatening that he was going to tell me that Michael and Vivienne were having an affair...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve speculated... But now I have evidence to prove it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to the Lounge to relax and enjoy the eclipse through the large windows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, about ten minutes later Michael joined me; and that’s where we stayed till we heard Vivienne screaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you see, the church’s bell tower needed some reconstruction. The birds that nest in it really cause quite a lot of damage. So David offered to donate money for the work that needed to be done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh... I was worried that David was going to take back his donation. I wouldn’t have thought something of that matter would need to be reimbursed...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes... Um, a bottle of poison. Lord only knows what I was thinking...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I seem to have misplaced it... Sometime while I was in the Dining Room, I imagine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes. Mrs. Peacock rushed in, took one of the candlesticks off the table, and left before I could say a word. Professor Plum joined me sometime later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to the Library to have a look at the Holy Book. I then proceeded to join Mrs. White in the Ballroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes... I did. It was lying on the table in the Library... I put it behind some books, so no one would be tempted to use it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, the Colonel was walking towards the Lounge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Black had told me he would help me buy a retirement cottage for myself. I love Mrs. Peacock and Miss Scarlett dearly, but I wouldn’t have the heart to ask them for help with something of that sort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been living in servitude my entire life. I thought it was time for me to finally take some time for myself, and retire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I did not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. The Professor dropped it while he was leaving the Library, so I picked it up and put it on the table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was so upset by Dr. Black’s actions... I wasn’t thinking straight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had paid for a portion of the house two weeks ago. The other part Dr. Black said he had put in already as well, but then he later told me that he was going to pull out of our deal! I would lose all of it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jonathan said he would meet me in the Ballroom, so I went straight there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just Jonathan in the Ballroom.
