Vanished

Vanished! *

In the Hall Colonel Mustard entered Mr. Boddy’s mansion. He also held a solid-gold dueling pistol in one hand. He had just bought it. He came into the Dining Room and found the guests snacking on some fruit. What a nice pistol you got there Mustard observed Green. Glad you like it, old boy said Mustard. A real treasure agreed another guest. Putting the Revolver in his bag. Have you noticed Miss Scarlet said. That one of us guests isn’t here. It’s almost like they have vanished said Mrs. Peacock. Using the Lead Pipe to swat away some fruit flies. Mr. Green was using the Knife to cut his apple into tiny pieces. Mustard had become very suspicious and had taken one of the weapons to defend himself from people stealing his pistol. Miss Scarlet was then plotting to steal the pistol as she hid the Wrench under the Dining Room table. Musard had become very worried and sat down. Just then someone came entered the Dining Room a few feet away from the Colonel  and used the Rope to tie up his hand holding the pistol. Mustard tried to strike the thief with his weapon and missed. The thief snatched the pistol from his hand and ran off. DON’T BOTHER TRYING TO GET AWAY! Yelled Mustard, I know who you are!

WHO STOLE COLONEL MUSTARD’S GOLD PISTOL?

Solution: MRS. WHITE in the DINING ROOM with the ROPE

All of the guests except Mrs. White and Plum were mentioned. That “he” putting the revolver in his bag has to be Plum, so the thief must be Mrs. White. Mustard had the Candlestick. Mustard chased White into the Hall and managed to wrestle the pistol from her. The other guests had followed; mustard then knocked White out with the Candlestick. He  then threatened the other guests that if they did not turn in their weapons he would shoot with the pistol. The guests guiltily turned in their weapons. The Colonel told Boddy what happened, and Boddy gave Mrs. White a consequence for trying to steal the pistol: Cutting her salary for a month.
