Chapter Three
In the Dining Room, Green and company thoroughly searched, yet the only object of interest was Mrs. Peacock's purse, which she refused to let be searched, because apparently it was "improper" to look through a lady's purse, even if she is a murder suspect. They decided to move onto the next room, the Kitchen. There they found a length of rope that was coiled up in a cupboard. After that, they moved onto the next room.
Meanwhile, the group consisting of Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet and Mr. Gold was having similar luck, finding only a silver candlestick in the Lounge. They moved into the Hall, and Gold had an idea.
"Say, why don't we check the coats of all of the guests to see if they have any incriminating evidence in their pockets?" he said.
"It sounds like you know much about this murder, Gold." said the Colonel.
"It sounds like you know how to point possible blame away from yourself, Mustard." retorted Gold.
After that, they both kept quiet and rifled through the pockets of all of the coats. In the pocket of one, they found some papers that were from a doctor to Green, telling him he shouldn't drink wine, or else he could get out of control and there'd be no telling what he could do. After moments of hard thinking, Scarlet remembered that Green had been the first in the room when they all rushed in. None of them remembered him being in the Dining Room when the shot was fired.
"Now, now, my friends let us not incriminate Mr. Green. His being first in the room and not in the Dining Room may just be a coincidence. For example, he could have been on the john-(interrupted by a snort of stifled laughter from Miss Scarlet) - and happened to be closer to the Library, therefore being better able to hear the source of the "SHOT"." finished Gold.
Green and party were searching the Ballroom when they found a revolver.
"This is the same one, in fact, that killed Mr. Boddy!" exclaimed Professor Plum. "But how did it get here?"
