Q

Max: Well thank God they’ve all gone.

A

Sandra: Cecil, we must tread carefully. It would be easy for the two of us to become implicated in Charles’ death. If they find out about us, we’ll be suspects.

Q

Max: Except now you won’t be forced to marry my beastly brother.

A

Sandra: And soon we can be together and not keep secrets.

22
Q

23

A

Sandra: I shall!

24
Q

Max: Kiss me!

A

Sandra: Oh Cecil!

25
Q

Robert/Rachel: What on earth’s going on in here?

A

Sandra: Sorry, I felt flustered. Cecil was cooling my brow.

26
Q

Max: Thank God he’s gone!

A

Sandra: Oh, Cecil! Kiss me a thousand times; I’m yours.

27
Q

Dennis/Denise: I shall lock the doors at once.

A

Sandra: You don’t think Perkins suspects us, do you?

28
Q

Max: That old fool, of course not.

A

Sandra: Oh, enough words. Take me!

29
Q

Robert/Rachel: What in God’s name?

A

Sandra: I was about to faint. Cecil caught me.

30
Q

Max: Damn these blasted interruptions!

A

Sandra: Kiss me, Cecil, I can’t wait a second longer.
(look at door)
Kiss me, Cecil, I can’t wait a second longer.
(silence)
Kiss me, Cecil, I can’t wait a second longer!!!

31
Q

Max: At last we’re alone.

A

Sandra: Oh Cecil, let’s run away from here. Far away! Together!

32
Q

Max: We mustn’t arouse suspicion.

A

Sandra: Cecil, tell me, who do you think killed Charles?

33
Q

Max: I have no doubt in my mind, he was killed by your brother/sister: Thomas/Mary Colleymoore.

A

Sandra: My brother/sister a murder and Charles dead? What a devil of a situation this is!

34
Q

Jonathan: Not so fast Inspector!

A

Sandra: But why would Mary/Thomas want Charley dead?

35
Q

Max: He/She saw you two together at tonight’s engagement party and it drove him half mad and he snapped and killed Charles.

A

Sandra: But if it is Thomas/Mary, what if our affair is discovered

36
Q

Max: I have no doubt in my mind he would try and kill us as well, just like he killed Charles!

A

Sandra: Oh I feel faint again!

37
Q

Chris: If you’d be so kind as to send in Florence Colleymoore on your way out.

A

Sandra: No need, I’m already here. Don’t ask too much of me, Inspector, I feel fragile as glass.

38
Q

Chris: Firstly, how old are you, Miss Colleymoore?

A

Sandra: Twenty-one.

39
Q

Chris: And when were you engaged to be married?

A

Sandra: In the new year.

40
Q

Chris: And when did you and your fiancé first meet?

A

Sandra: Only seven months ago, but my brother/sister has known him since school. He/She introduced us at a local gala and it was love at first sight. I knew from the very first moment I saw him that he was the man I wished to marry.

41
Q

Chris: Ah, I’ve run out of paper.

A

Sandra: When you love someone there’s no such thing as rushing, Inspector.

42
Q

Chris: Did you ever think you were rushing into this marriage?

A

Sandra: Why wouldn’t I love him?

43
Q

Chris: Did you love him, then?

A

Sandra: How could anyone have benefitted?

44
Q

Chris: Can you think of anyone who might have benefitted from your fiancé’s death?

A

Sandra: Cecil?

45
Q

Chris: Not even Cecil?

A

Sandra: I wasn’t having an affair! Don’t raise your voice to me, Inspector!

46
Q

Chris: YOU WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR!

A

Sandra: Don’t tell me to calm down!

47
Q

Chris: Calm down, Miss Colleymoore.

A

Sandra: But where did you find it?

48
Q

Chris: I found your letter; the one addressed to Cecil, written in your hand, declaring your love for him and saying that the thought of marrying Charles repulsed you.

A

Sandra: Charles read it-

49
Q

Chris: …I’ll tell you where I found it: in Charles’ pocket!

A

Sandra: Charles read it?! Then it was suicide!

50
Q

Chris: Or a murder, conceived by yourself and Cecil Haversham so you could run away together.

A

Sandra: You diabolical beast. How can you? I won’t stand for this, Inspector. Accuse me again and you’ll be sorr…
