Nothing to get all up in shambles about "scene"

Question 1

Mr Polk: Why, it’s only a surge in the ‘lectric is all.

Answer 1

He’s quite right. It’s nothing to get all up in shambles about so sit down and finish your tea. Another poppy cake, Gertude?

Question 2

Gertude: Yes, please. Thank you mum.

Answer 2

Anyone else? It’s an old family recipe, passed down from my great great grandmother who worked in the king’s kitchen. Everyone says they’re to die for!

Question 3

Maid: Mr.Black! Whatever could have happened to him?

Answer 3

Oh, stop playing around, Humphrey! You’ll give Gertude bad dreams.

Question 4

Ms. Polly: I don’t think he’s playing around, Mrs.Polk.

Answer 4

Of course he is. Mr.Black can be the most useless knob sometimes. Honestly, I don’t know why we still have him for tea.

Question 4

Ms. Polly: Dead?

Answer 4

Dead?

Question 5

Mr.Polk: Good old Mr.Black. The poor sap!

Answer 5

Oh, Frederick! No! Don’t do that!

Question 6

Mr.Polk: Why not?

Answer 6

You’ll disturb the scene of the crime. Everyone knows you never disturb the scene of the crime, or else you might be suspected as the killer.

Question 7

Ms.Polly: But who could have done such a thing? Surely it couldn’t have been someone in this room.

Answer 7

Just what are you suggesting, Ms. Polly?

Question 8

Only that- well, it had to have happened when the lights went out. Mr. Black was standing right there. And so, logically, one would have to presume that one of us must of done it.

Answer 8

How dare you say such a thing! No one in this room is capable of committing such a horrendous act. Not against Mr. Black, our dear friend. Just how could you suggest… (Upset. huffs) And to think we invited you over for afternoon tea!
