*bumps along deck looking for Hag*

 

 

Bloody bear climbed over again

 

*pokes head out of cabin door...sees polar bear has escaped from the hold...slams door and hides in wardrobe*

Pardon me for being late!!!!!!

Mince pie and a vodka please bar keep

What was I doing at the time of the murder?
I was relaxing in my cabin brainstorming ideas for my new heroine, of course!

 

it just wanders about when it wants, there's no security on this liner

On paper, a character like miss airhead there seems like a good idea, but on e you've seen the darker side to her personality.. I think not.
Then there's that izzy, well she's just bad mannered and my readers wouldn't like her, but I couldn't care to write about her...
Fanny, she's got potential but she does make herself far too available

hmmmm of course you were my dear 

 

I vos in ze bar reading a very interesting article in ze Doktor's Times all about ze boils ja!  Ze only ovva person zere was ze Mrs Izzy 

 

 

what are you rabbiting on about Hag... a voddie to many my dear

unt did you zee it lick ze blood up like it was red wine 

 

 

yes I did Herr Doctor *checks glass*

Well Haggy I can imagine you must be having real problems choosing your new detective but you had no problems predicting the Captains demise. 

Sure sure Farley, pin your crime on me I don't mind

The final chapter of all of my novels are always the most exciting!

If I had written a novel set aboard a cruise ship such as this, I would not have offed the captain! I would have gone for the lap dancer, or the inventor... And then, at the end, unveiled the captain as the killer! It would have been sensational darling

*wafts in to bar much happier now that polar bear has gone again*

 

Hello darlings. I think that cream that the Doc gave Fanny must have been vanishing cream and not the 'soothing' cream he told her it was.

Mein Gott!  I assure you it vos nuffink more zan ze soothing cream ja! 

 

 

 

*plays hopscotch on deck*

I am zo fed up wiz ze Mrs Gonyett I return to my cabin to meditate Gute Nacht 

 

 

I was with the Prince all day, trying to convince him I'm the next big thing. With all his money and connection I was sure I could go all the way. Of course that was before I found out he didn't have money anymore!!

I really hope that was at right time....

 

 

I was on the bridge, testing out my device for early detection of large icebergs. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working yet. 

 

*peers over the side warily* 

 Thats a killer excuse

 

 

I know exactly where I was

 

I was in the Captain's quarters, strategically planting Photographs of myself all around his bedroom so he couldn't forget me 

 

 

Got to be the truth if you admit that

I was with Fanny all day. She kept on me to get her a role in the Captains movie. I told her that it wasn't my decision but I couldn't shake her off!

Crikey miss airhead! You should have made up something else rather than tell people that truth!

If indeed it is the truth...

I was in the bar, darlings, having a few pre dinner cocktails. I believe that I saw Dr Manoeuvre there as well. 

 

I answered truthfully Hag

Really princey?
Not even when you had to excuse yourself to go to the loo..?

 

 

it seems so long ago I've forgotten where the Herr Doctor said he was

Aren't all the cabins en-suite on this ship?

 

I the bar with Lizzy I think.

 

 

you could have squeezed through that round holey thingy... on second thoughts maybe not after seeing that photo

 

 

I would have checked tomorrow your highness *bugga, I have to think of how Izzy might have done it*

If those persons who claim to have been in the bar, were drinking, then I must discredit their evidence/alibi's - they may not have been fully coherent

 

Mine's fine, darling. You will notice I said 'pre dinner cocktails', so I would have been sober, darling. Had it been post dinner, then it may well have been a different story.
