And The

Hound of Butchersville

Created by Elveda Steinberg, Dorcas Kyllingmark, and Marilyn Kyllingmark

Characters

Fursock Holmes:  Extremely egotistical, but truthfully, doornails are smarter than him.

Edison "Eddie" Watts:  Fursock's biggest fan.  Trusts Fursock's judgments above his own, but has occasional bursts of inspiration.

Messenger 1:  Brings first telegram to Fursock.

Messenger 2:  Brings second telegram to Fursock.

Vladimir Bolshevik:  Town butcher.  Quiet, morose, intimidating.  Knives are his friends.

Pisclapski "Slops" or "Piggy" Bolshevik:  Vladimir's baby brother, about 20 years old.  Jealous of brother's fame, wishes to own the butcher shop himself.  Puts on a friendly face toward everyone, but inside is a slimy, conniving little worm.

Hélène:  A little girl of the town.  Friends with Vladimir.

Reginald Hawthorne:  Mayor of Butchersville; fat, stuffy, and pompous.  Very self-important.

Victoria Hawthorne:  Reginald's wife.  Elegant, snooty, and very vain.  Expensive clothes and makeup cannot hide the horror of what she calls her face.

Melvin:  The mailman.  Clueless and quite a gossip.  No one knows his last name; it is doubted if even he knows it.

Charlotte Hornswallow:  Teacher of the finishing school, and quite prim and proper.  Victim of the Hound.

Victor "Crummy" Crumb:  Town librarian.  Dignified, grandfatherly type; very honest.

Mr. Periwinkle:  Owner of the pawnshop.  Rather hyper, nervous guy.  Cheapskate and a con artist.  Likes to tease Pisclapski about his name.

Clementine Begonia:  Clueless blond belle.

Minerva Bellmonte:  Nosy, plump, major gossip, and a busybody.  Wears reading glasses.

Helga Swenson:  Busybody, muckraker.  Doesn't really care about anything, as long as she knows what it is.

Toothless:  The hound!

Cornelius Einsford:  The baker.  Quiet, friendly, generous, and little shy.  Proud of his wares.  Very talkative once he gets started.

Flora Monte:  Blacksmith's wife.  Bustling, cheerful, and rather stout.  Excellent hostess.  A victim of the Hound.  Has a strong Southern accent.

Albert [ALL-bert] LeGrande:  Town constable.  French, easygoing, and determined to catch the mysterious attacker.  Doesn't like Fursock.
