Chapter 26

B- "Oh Simon!" Sarah exclaimed, "I think I could just kiss you! But I won't..." then there was sort of an awkward pause before Betsy cut in to save the moment. "Well... that conversation can be continued later. Right now, Euphemiana I have a few questions for you. Namely, can you explain how you have a halberd that looks exactly like the murder weapon? Or why you carry a small vial of deathly nightgrip liquid around with you? And can you tell me of your whereabouts on the days of the crimes?" Sarah cut in now after recovering from her little outburst. "Those are all very valid questions Bets, but I think the real ringer is why would you do it Euph? That's still what I'm muddled about." Then, out of the blue the butler decided that he wanted to say something, "I can tell you that." Betsy who always got a little nervous around the butler because he still reminded her of Jack the Ripper, let Sarah talk to the butler. "If you wouldn't mind sir, would you please explain yourself?"

memorable quotes that make us laugh:

--Betsy always got the short end of the stick which Sarah was fine with

--Oh don't talk to me about the weather!

--The room was suddenly dark, the girls breath became frosty. "DEMENTORS!" Betsy wept in a heart wrenching cry, "THEY'VE FOUND US AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO SUCK OUT OUR SOULS!!!!!"

--Sarah picked up an old chair from the corner and heaved it out the window. There was a rather large crashing noise. The girls hoped no one would notice.

--When he saw Betsy he stood up very abruptly knocking over his mug of er... water.

--It appears that someone has it out for us... because the begonias have their heads chopped off...? THE BEGONIAS!

--Poppy was crying and frantically trying to bite the man's legs off, but to no avail.

--"Excuse me," she said authoritatively, "but can you tell me why you're trying to kidnap me?" "Oh," replied her captor. "Is that what this looks like? This isn't how I wanted to start things off at all! Why do I always mess things up!?"

--"I panicked! Dead people are so messy!"

--"Is Simon here?" inquired Betsy in a panicky voice (which was panicky for more than one reason. One being that the beaver was dead or very soon to be dead, another that Simon, they believed, had tried to kill them, and also the Butler bore a very close resemblance to what she had always imagined Jack the Ripper would look like.

--“That wasn’t very Christian of him,”

--Fluffy bit of knittery
