Clue
Chapter One
The rain poured down outside as Mr. Green hurriedly walked into the hall of Tudor Mansion, the home of Mr. Boddy. He had been invited there along with several others who he did not know, but who apparently had "connections" with Mr. Boddy. From what he had heard, one such person was Colonel Mustard, who was a former trooper in Mr. Boddy's platoon when he had served in the army. The others were Mrs. Peacock, the sister of Boddy's cousin; Miss Scarlet, who had apparently been Boddy's girlfriend for several years and Professor Plum, a man who had taught Boddy in college. Of course, the other people who were there were Boddy's maid, Mrs. White, and his butler, Mr. Gold.
The only thing Green could think about as he rushed in was how "colored" their last names were. But of course that was just a coincidence. He was greeted by Mr. Gold, who took his coat and hung it up on a nearby rack. Green looked around, and noticed how large the front hall was. It looks smaller on the outside, he thought to himself. Gold showed him into a room where the other invitees sat around on various chairs or couches. He assumed this was the Lounge. For a few minutes, he sat waiting for Mr. Boddy to arrive, feigning smiles whenever he accidentally made eye contact with someone. It was then that Mr. Boddy himself strolled in.
"Just look at him, strutting around as if he owned the place." whispered Mrs. Peacock to Miss Scarlet who was sitting next to her.
"Er..as a matter of fact, he does.", replied Scarlet, as Mrs. Peacock went slightly pink in the face. Boddy sat down and warmly welcomed everyone.
"Welcome, one and all, to Tudor Mansion!" exclaimed Mr. Boddy cordially. "I hope all of you are warm and comfortable?" This, sadly, was an inappropriate question, as most guests had arrived only several minutes earlier, and were still wet and chilled from the rain. However, no one said anything.
"I suppose that you are all wondering why I called you all here," he said, "and I would like to inform you that all of you have are going to be written into my will. I decided to invite you all to celebrate the good news. Mrs. White, if you please-". Mrs. White walked in carrying a tray on which were placed glasses of "various alcoholic beverages", a phrase which here means "different types of wine". Green grabbed a glass of aged Merlot and took a sip.
"Anyhow, now that you've all had a drink, would you care to join me in the Dining Room?"
