Murder in the Great Hall

[Pleater]

Weellll!! I never expected to find all this going on when I decided to come to this shindig. Lucky I found the invitation - that girl at the station gave me such a look when I flashed it - it's only got a little bent over on the corners.

I just hope it is going to be worth the bother of getting up so early - an announcement by Panache!!

It was only the thought that he'd finally got his metrosexual behind into gear and might just finally have sorted out our finances that got me out of bed this afternoon I am telling you!!

All I want now is the settlement of what I am owed from that ill fated business venture, and get it all over and done with. Sorting out the accounts can't have taken so long, he's just been delaying things out of spite.

Now what I REALLY want is another drink.

Out of the way Livingston!! Has no one shot you yet? I can't think why.

Oh, good evening Arlen. Married life seems to be agreeing with you. In fact apparently your new wife must be an excellent cook. I'll bet you're not getting creamed haggis and black pudding trifle for breakfast.

Have you seen Mr. Panache? He failed to specify dress for this shindig of his and here I am in a Braemar jacket, five button waistcoat and a rouche tie. I swear if I get any grief from the tie police I"m going to beat them about the head and shoulders with my new cromach. Even if Mr. Tibbles is still chewing on it.

Excuse me, maybe I'll find Mr. Panache near the drinks table. Cheers!
