Whodunit
You are the killer. After your rendezvous with Miss Scarlet, the
two of you agreed to re-enter the house by separate doors. You walked
back in the front, while she waited to return through the conservatory.
As you came in, you passed by the parlor and saw a man sitting in a wing
chair facing the window. You knew that Colonel Mustard habitually
sat there reading with a cigar and a glass of brandy. All at once,
the years of pent-up rage became too much for you to handle. Picking
up a candlestick from the hall table, you crept up behind him and smashed
him over the head. Only when you turned him over to make sure he
was dead did you realize that the man was really Mr. White.
You wiped and replaced the candlestick just in time to see two avenues
of escape being cut off. Empress Ebony and Miss Peach were outside,
passing by the front door, just as you heard someone coming down the stairs.
Panicked, you ran back outside through the dining room door. This
brought you back to where Miss Scarlet was hiding, so you had to tell her
what had happened.
You returned to the barn to talk strategy. Miss Scarlet was in
favor of your running away together, but you said that it would appear
to be an admission of guilt. It’s true, but what you didn’t say is
that you are not willing to give up the Countess, who is a much wealthier
and more appropriate bride. You were still arguing when the body was discovered.
