Murder At Marple Manor: Chapter I

Hugh Hamilton

"Gee," said Hugh, "it was awful kind of the Marples to invite us to stay at their manor."
"Indeed it was, Hugh," said Ben carefully. "I'm in the mood for some good old fashioned dinner parties with esteemed high-profile drabs."
"Good for you."
"I was being sarcastic."
"So was I."
"About what?"
"About it being good for you."
"No you weren't."
"Yes I was."
"Prove it."
"Can't be done."
"Yeah, because you're lying."
"No, because it can't be done."
"How about we stop this awful conversation and begin packing."
"No, if we stop speaking we will be flooded with clumsy over-descriptive passages about killing flies."
"Ah, good."
