Another Murder!!!!

This time in England.

It is 1912, and a small party has gathered in London to celebrate the engagement of Bunny Mandelson and Agatha Eton-Hogg. But then the body of Mellors, the butler, is discovered, with a revolver in his hand, a bullet in his head and suicide note that says: 'I have seen too much, and can take no more.'

What did the butler see? Did he really kill himself? Or did one of your guests murder him?
Those present at the dinner-party are:

• Bunny Mandelson, a gentleman of very little brain.
• Agatha Eton-Hogg, his fiancee, and inquisitive and intelligent young woman.
• Sir Douglas Eton-Hogg, Agatha's uncle and a highly respected Member of Parliament.
• Oscar Hemmingway III, an American big-game hunter and ivory merchant.
• Sister Morticia Lewinskaya, a Russian-born nun now resident in Chicago.
• Mary Lippe-Anstoldt, one of the leading stars of the Edwardian Music Hall and a friend of Agatha.
• Herr Schnapps, a successful German industrialist and business-partner of Sir Douglas.
• Georgette Michel, a young Frenchwoman who is only just recovering from her ordeal of going down on the Titanic.

Bunny was played by Claire (he was a gentleman of so little Brain that he dressed like a lady...); Agatha was played by Lisa, Sir Douglas was played by Sean; Oscar was played by me, filling in a role since our attendance dropped and I couldn't play half the nun with Louise... so I wasn't really dressed); Sister Morticia was played by Louise (originally to be played as a schizophrenic nun by both Louise and I.. oh well); and Georgette was played by Gilly. Mary and Herr were optional characters to be played if you have more people, and we didn't, so they didn't exist.

The menu for the evening was English Breakfast. I had bought sausages and hash browns; Claire had brought the eggs which we subsequently scrambled; Sean brought tons of bread and butter; Gilly baked a lovely lemon cake; Lisa supplied the cheese and olives; and Louise brought a freeking huge can of baked beans. Of course, to each, their own wine. Breakfast was made and enjoyed by all over the course of the night. Beans on toast is surprisingly good. Sean's character was by far the best, and most funniest. The man on the tape cassette this time was a bit filthy, saying things that had naughty double meanings. In the end, as usually happens with these games, everyone was partially to blame for the murder.

After the game was finished I whip out my "The Pantyhose Game" which the packaging boasts, "Everyone looks funny!" You put each end of the hose over one persons head, and they pull away from each other. Whoever keeps it on is the winner. Everyone did look funny... it was true. The following morning we had to eat the leftover breakfast, this time for breakfast. Nice. Then we cleaned up and headed out to take some fun Purikura and have a light lunch. A good time had by all.
