It doesn't matter how many times I have seen David McCallum on NCIS, I still refer to him as Professor Plum.

"Do you know anything about the photo of the two women on the counter?" You ask.

The reverend turns around, looking at the photo.

"Why, this is my first time seeing this photo!" The reverend says, picking it up. He turns towards Valentina. "Miss D'amor, do you..."

"That's my grandma, Shannon D'amor." Valentina says. "And my great grandma, Olga Battilia."

You motion for her to give more details.

"...That's it." She says, resuming her smoke.

I'm bisexual again. Sometimes I hate girls and just want guys. Sometimes I hate guys and just want girls. But all in all I'll just say I'm bisexual. But as of now I'm not interested in any gender... they both have flaws and I've got better things to worry about.

You join in your Uncle and Mrs. Peacock in playing croquet.
�So when exactly is the lovely niece of yours going to be arriving?� asks Mrs. Peacock
�Any moment now.� Mr. Boddy says looking at his stop watch.
�I saw a taxi in the distance.� You mention
Mr. Boddy turns to you with an awkward look on his face.
�Well, that could be her.� Mr. Boddy says, �The hedges do prevent us from seeing the road so I couldn�t be certain if it is heading here or to another house nearby.�
You take your turn as Mrs. Peacock peeks out of the courtyard in the direction of the road.
�I don�t see anything.� She says
�Well my nephew must have been mistaken.� Mr. Boddy says, �But Georgia will be here any moment.�
You finish your game with Mrs. Peacock of course winning. At that moment a young girl with a large sun hat enters the courtyard.
�Oh my gosh!!� she exclaims in a long southern drawl, �This is still the largest buildin� I�ve ever seen!�
�Georgia!� Mr. Boddy pulls her into his arms, �Mrs. Peacock, Francis, I�d like you to meet my charming niece, Georgia Peach.�
�Are ya�ll playin� croquet?� she asks in excitement, �I�ve always wanted to play croquet with the fancy rich folks!�
�She�s a keeper.� Mrs. Peacock mutters to you
�I�ll say.� You respond to her
Miss Peach giggles, �Is that a Rolls Royce?�
�My prized possession.� Mr. Boddy says leading her out of the hedged corquet field and towards the car. You and Mrs. Peacock follow, �I can take you for a ride in it later.�
�Oh my!� Miss Peach gasps, �I can�t believe I�ve got such a nice uncle!�
�Yes,� Mrs. Peacock says, �He is being very generous today.�

�Uncle, didn�t you hear those gunshots?� you ask rather nervously
�Skeet.� Mr. Boddy responds, �I believe Colonel Mustard and Professor Plum are playing skeet.�
�You get used to it out here in the county.� Mrs. Peacock says, �I only live about five minutes up the road and I hear it all the time.�
�Henrietta is a good marksman.� Mr. Boddy says
�I could have killed everyone in the front line during the war.� Mrs. Peacock says proudly
�She beats me at skeet everytime.� Mr. Boddy says, �But not croquet. Croquet is my specialty.�

I think that it's obvious. Consider: the greatest detective in the world, Sherlock Holmes, did not investigate the most notorious murderer of his times? Why not? Because he knew that by exposing the killer, he would lose his biographer, who was doing a great PR job. That's right: Jack the Ripper was none other than Dr. Watson!

Incidentally, I mentioned a long time ago that I was talking with an artist about doing a picture for my blog. The result, if I say so myself, is pretty **** cool:

You glance suspiciously at them all and exit the Mansion. Walking on the driveway around your Uncle�s prized car you make your way through the hedges and into the Courtyard. As you enter the Courtyard you are greeting by the aroma of tea and flowers. Mrs. Peacock sips a cup of tea while leaning on her croquet mallet as your Uncle takes his turn. At that moment you hear another gunshot. No one else seems fazed by it other than you.
�Would you like to join us?� asks Mrs. Peacock
You notice a figure in the Gazebo.

There was a fashion student at the local univesity preparing for a designer lables for the future. Bullard made an investment in her saying she would do well, whereas I invested against. One night, I destroyed the clothes and made a killing. Bullard found out and demanded I pay him all the money back or he would ruin me.

AFTER DINNER � STUDY 18:25

Colonel Mustard and Mrs. Peacock are sitting at the study desk, having a heated discussion.

�Honoria, why are you marring him, I always thought.....� Colonel Mustard started to speak before Mrs. Peacock interrupted.

�You thought what, Donovan?� Mrs. Peacock coldly replied.

Colonel Mustard had a lump in his throat which was almost noticeable. He almost chokes as he speaks.

�You know how much I love you, I would even kill for.�

�Thomas had the guts to propose to me, you had plenty of chances to ask me and I would have said yes, for a colonel you are such a coward.�

Colonel Mustard stood up from his chair and made his way to the door. The only noise that could be heard was the sound of Mrs. Peacock typing away on her computer. Before he leaves the room, he turns and looks at Mrs. Peacock.

�Bullard isn�t such an angel, maybe you should ask Plum to tell you all the gory details.�

As soon as the colonel left the room, the corridors of the grange echoed with the word... B@ST@RD!!!

KITCHEN 18:31

Mrs. White is washing up the plates and cutlery humming a calming tune. She occasionally glimpse at the box of chocolates, the temptation of eating one was too much. She was about to unwrap the chocolates until Dr. Bullard entered the room.

�I take it you�re not too busy, Mrs. White.�

�No sir.� Mrs. White replied with slight amount of worry.

�There is a small problem we must sort out with your cottage.�

�My cottage, there�s nothing wrong with it, is there?� asked Mrs. White desperate for an answer only to hear the cunning doctor�s answer.

�Well.....� the doctor begins to speak looking for the right words. �As you know, Honoria owns a majority of the properties in the village, one of which is your cottage.�

Mrs. White begins to sweat and the doctor is slightly enjoying his bullying.

�Tell me Gwen, when exactly was the last time you paid for a maintenance bill?�

Mrs. White had a lump in her throat, however, she was able to swallow her pride and reply to the doctor�s question. �Mrs. Peacock and I made a deal many years before she met you.�

�Well, deals are made to be broken.�

The doctor smirked as he left the kitchen. As soon as he did, Mrs. White unwrapped the box of chocolates from its plastic wrapping and opened the box to examine all of the different chocolates. After looking at them, she removed one and ate it.

Dr. Green then entered holding a SYRINGE.

�I�ve got the syringe that you asked for Mrs. White.� Dr. Green said as he gives the syringe to Mrs. White.
�Thank you doctor, this will do the job nicely, could you take the chocolates to the Library for me please?�

�No problem, anything to help.� Dr. Green replied as he picks up the box, watching Mrs. White leaving from the back door.

LIBRARY 18:37

Miss Scarlet is poking the wood in the fireplace with the Poker. Dr. Bullard then enters the room and then sits in one of the armchairs.

�I hope you�re not going to attempt to start a conversation with me.� Miss Scarlet said as she continues to prod the fire wood.

�That�s good, since I expect you to listen.� replied the doctor who receives nothing more than an evil stare from Miss Scarlet.

�When your mother and I....�

�Adopted mother� Miss Scarlet interrupted.

�Adopted mother and I get married, there are going to be big changes made.�

Miss Scarlet�s grip starts to tighten around the poker.

�I see, and I expect you want me to leave, give up my rightful inheritance.�

�Inheritance� Dr. Bullard chuckled as he moves slowly towards the fireplace. �My dear, you have no claim to this house, Honoria hasn�t made a will.�

�That�s..... that�s not true� replied a shocked Miss Scarlet.

�Oh, but it is my dear, but I�m sure we can come to some arrangement.�

A grin covered the lower half of Dr. Bullard�s face as he rubs his hands across Miss Scarlet�s arms. She suddenly turns around and waves the poker under the doctor�s chin.

�I�d see you in *beep* first.�

Mrs. Peacock suddenly enters the room, carrying a box of chocolates, appalled at her daughter�s actions.

�Elvira, what on earth do you think you�re playing at?�

At a loss for words, Miss Scarlet throws the poker on the floor and then storms out of the library.

�Amazing, she really hates me.� The doctor remarked.

�She never liked any of my suitors.�

�I see you got the chocolates, shall we start eating them?�

�Let me get changed first, Thomas, then I�m all yours.�

DRAWING ROOM 18:42

Professor Plum enters the room with a thief like sneak. He notices the R.C. Car stationary on the floor. The professor smirks as he picks up the toy off the floor and mutters to himself.

�This will do nicely.�

OUTSIDE � 10 MINUETS LATER (18:52)

Miss Scarlet and Dr. Green are sitting near the fountain, drinking champagne and eating chocolates.

�Ethan, have you ever thought about asking me the question?� Miss Scarlet asked with adoring eyes.

�Of course I have darling, but when I�m more financial secure.� replied Dr. Green giving Miss Scarlet a kiss on the cheek.

As the two were snuggling up to each other, Colonel Mustard interrupted their moment.

�You two better come inside.� Colonel Mustard demanded.

�What on earth for?� Miss Scarlet replied.

�It�s Bullard, someone�s killed him.�

LOVE ACTUALLY HURTS

LOUNGE 17:50

On a warm summer afternoon, Mrs. Honoria Peacock, Lady of the Grange and famous crime novelist, is snuggling up to Dr. Thomas Bullard on one of the carmine red settees. Thomas looks down to Mrs. Peacock and asks her a question.

�Honoria, I have something to ask you.�

Mrs. Peacock looks up in interest at what the question might be.

�Yes, what is it?�
�Could you pass me that remote control?�

Mrs. Peacock suddenly looks disappointed as she passes the doctor a remote control with a trigger and a steering wheel. Dr. Bullard pulls the trigger and starts turning the wheel until a RC CAR enters the room.

�Is that all?� Mrs. Peacock said with slight anger.

�No, why don�t you look a little closer at the aerial.� The doctor replied.

Mrs. Peacock examined the toy car�s aerial and noticed a ring with sapphire and diamonds. Mrs. Peacock looked as if she was about to jump for joy in the excitement of a certain question.
The doctor took the ring from Mrs. Peacock. He knelt down on one knee.

�Mrs. Honoria Peacock, would you do me the greatest pleasure in the world in becoming my wife?�

Mrs. Peacock�s emotions got the better of her as she started to say the word �YES�

In the doorway of the Lounge, Colonel Donovan Mustard hid, eavesdropping on the conversation. He cracked his knuckles in anger and escaped to another room.

KITCHEN 17:54

Mrs. Gwen White, the housekeeper of the Grange, is cooking dinner. Miss Elvira Scarlet enters the room carrying a PLASTIC BAG.

�Thank you dear, that�s one thing less for me to worry about.� Mrs. White said with a sigh of relief as she watched Miss Scarlet place a BOX OF CHOCOLATES on the kitchen counter.

�I take it that man is still here?� Miss Scarlet asked slightly annoyed.

�Yes dear, he�ll be staying the night as well.� Mrs. White replied.

Miss Scarlet screws the bag into a ball and squeezes to relieve herself of some stress and anger.

�Is he now?� muttering to herself.

STUDY 18:00

Mrs. Peacock is on her computer typing in a joyful mood. The village general practitioner Doctor Ethan Green enters the room.

�Hello Honoria, you seem happier than normal.� Observed Dr. Green.

�Thank you Ethan, I take it you�re looking for Elvira?�

�No, no, I was looking for Thomas actually. Have you seen him?�

Slightly confused at what the doctor wanted to see her new fianc� for, Mrs. Peacock started to rub her neck.

�The last place I seen him was in the lounge, Ethan, why do you want to see him?�

�Oh, no reason, he made me a deal that I couldn�t refuse.� Dr. Green replied with a slight smile on his face.

�I see, have fun with that.�

Dr. Green replied with a chuckle as he leaves Mrs. Peacock alone to carry on with her typing.

BILLIARD ROOM 18:08

Colonel Mustard is playing a game of snooker with Professor Amyas Plum. The Colonel lines up a shot to pot a red ball in one of the corner pockets but he hits the cue ball hard. This makes both the red ball and the cue ball fall into the pocket.

�D@mn it all to h�ll!� Colonel Mustard bellowed.

Professor Plum was a little concerned but was **** than he usually was.

�Dear me Mustard, you seem to have lost your touch.� The professor said as he prepares to take his shot.

�I take it you haven�t heard the news then.� Mustard said as he replaces his cue.

�What kind of news?�

�Honoria has decided to marry that doctor.�

�I wouldn�t tell Elvira she might kill Ethan.� Plum joked.

�Honoria isn�t marrying Green. She�s marrying a man named Bullard.�

At the very mention of the name, Professor Plum miss cued his shot.

�Bullard� replied a startled Plum �It wouldn�t be a Thomas Bullard by any chance?�

The Colonel is starting to suspect what might be wrong but is also slightly smug.

�How do you know him, Plum?� asked the colonel as he eyes the REVOLVER �I want to know all the dirt you have on him.�

DINING ROOM 18:15

Everyone is sitting at the dining table, eating a cola-glazed ham apart from Dr. Green who is eating a Waldolf salad. Mrs. Peacock is giving a loving stare to her new fianc� while Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet are giving Dr. Bullard sinister looks. Dr. Green thinks fast knowing that he would have to try and break the tension somehow.

�The salad is delightful Honoria� Dr. Green said as he offers Mrs. Peacock the plate. �Can I tempt you to some?�

�Thank you Ethan, but I�m afraid I can�t, not with my allergy.�

�I�m sorry to hear that.�

Dr. Bullard looks at both Colonel Mustard and Professor Plum, knowing how much the two hate him so much.

�I fancy a game of snooker after dinner, does anyone fancy a game?�

�No thank you, I intend to have a word with Honoria.� replied the Colonel.

�Same here, I�ve got some unpacking to do.�

�If you fancy a game Thomas, I don�t mind playing.�

�Thanks Ethan, we can talk about your job as well.�

The two doctors smile at each other and continue to eat their dinner.
