Excerpt from the Official Police Interrogation of Margaret Chase and Ethan Wyatt

December 25

Inspector Patel: Who else was there that first night?

Mr. Wyatt: Ooh! Is this the part where we lay out the suspects? Finally. Let’s lay out some suspects.

Ms. Chase: Well... there was Eleanor’s nephew, Rupert.

Mr. Wyatt: Yeah. There was that guy. And that guy’s wife.

Ms. Chase: Kitty’s sweet. A little—

Mr. Wyatt: Fertile. Very, very—

Ms. Chase: Tired. She’d have to be. The children are a handful. Let me see. There was Dr. Charles.

Mr. Wyatt: Yeah. I can’t tell you much about him. I think Charles was his first name. No. His last name. You know, I have no idea.

Ms. Chase: And, obviously, Their Graces.

Mr. Wyatt: Wait. I thought her name was Grace?

Ms. Chase: I’d never met a duke or duchess before.

Mr. Wyatt: Don’t forget the lawyer.

Ms. Chase: Right. And I guess that leaves Sir Jasper.
