THE BUTLER

You've been invited to play the role of THE BUTLER in Murder at the Manor. Lord Heathcliff is throwing a swanky dinner party in honour of his new bride. All the usual suspects are there - the vicar, the cook, the professor - plus a few unusual ones. But dinner will never be served because Lord Heathcliff is hit over the head with a candlestick just as he's taking his customary afternoon swim. You're invited to find out who snuffed out his candle!

Your costume suggestion

Smartly dressed in immaculate suit tails and white gloves, you’re rarely seen without a little silver tray, polishing cloth, and superior sneer.

About you...

BIO
As a youngster you were drawn towards the ideals of knights and chivalry - taking an after-school fencing class seemed like a great idea. Fencing was fun but you wanted to bring a horse into the equation, so you added jousting to your skills and became a successful tournament player. The need for professional jousters wasn’t as great as you hoped, however, so you had to look for a fallback career. When your father declared his retirement as Lord Heathcliff’s butler you decided to follow in his footsteps.

I am the Butler, at your service. I don’t really do the murder thing. I did visit His Lordship in the pool prior to his murder but I was not the culprit. I was actually outside talking to the gardener about something of a personal nature which I’d rather not discuss with you all here now.
