The Mansion

Dinner

I'm sitting in the hallway with the woman going back in forth from the billiard room to the kitchen. I think she is the maid. When the women is back in the kitchen I decide to go look in the billiard room. The door is opened slightly. I push the door open slowly.

"Why hello" a man said as he walked towards me

"Hi" I replied

"What are you doing here?" Said another woman

"Uhh.." I was interrupted

"What do you mean he's probably a guest to the party!" Said a man

"How could he, he isn't even dressed appropriately." Said another man

"What do you mean he is wearing a polo shirt" the woman said

"He is also wearing jeans." Said the man as he walked over and tugged on my jeans

"Well instead of badgering the boy why don't we get to know him!" Said a different man

"Alright, I'll go first. I'm Mr. Green." He says as he gives me a nice bright smile

"Hmm, I'm Miss Scarlet" she says while drinking her drink

"Um well, I'm Professor Plum" he says as he walks over to shake my hand

"I'm Mrs. Peacock" she says as she try's to get her feathers out of her face

"I'm Mrs. White" she says as she slowly looks away

"I'm Colonel Mustard" the man said as he fixed the tuck in his shirt

"I'm Charlie" I say as I wave my hand at everybody

"Well, hello Charlie, what made you come to this place tonight?" Mr. Green asked

"Well I was lost and was in need for a telephone" I replied

"Well why don't you have a drink" Colonel Mustard said

"Oh sir I don't think thats necessary" I replied

"oh why not, it's a party" said Miss Scarlet

Colonel Mustard walks over and hands me one. The women walks up from behind me. She just looks at me. Wadsworth comes up and says

"It's time for dinner."

All the guest stand up walking towards the door. I just stay back not wanting to interrupt there party.

"What are you doing Charlie? Come on there's going to be a seat there for ya."
Said Mr. Green

As I walk out of the billiard room Mr. Green puts his arm around me saying

"I remember the first time I staggered in to this mansion. I was just like you, I didn't know anybody, although nobody knew each other at that time."

I walk in seeing everybody take there seat at the table. Wadsworth pulls out a chair telling me that's where I would be sitting. I sat at the end of the table, I felt weird sitting there because usually the host sits there at the end. Wadsworth calls the woman by her name Yvette. That was her name. She had a very thick French accent. She wore a maids outfit and had her hair nicely done in a Bun. Wadsworth gave her the wine so she can pour it in in all of our glasses. Wadsworth was in the kitchen. I was able to hear clinking from dishes hitting each other.

"Are you from around here Charlie?" Asked Colonel Mustard

"From this town no. I'm from the next town over." I replied

"How did you wonder all the way over here?" Mr. Green asked

"I decided to take a walk but it started to rain so I started to head back, but I suppose I took a wrong turn and I saw this place." I answered

"Hmm, are you Single?" Miss Scarlet asked

"Miss Scarlet, the boy is young look at him." Said Colonel Mustard

"Yeah, if anything he is 20 years younger than us." Said Professor Plum

"I'm 26" I replied not knowing how young they thought I was

"See he's only 16 years younger than us." Miss Scarlet said as she looked at Colonel

"What do you plan on doing with him?" Mr. Green asked

"Nothing it was just a question" Miss Scarlet replied

"Actually, I'm "

I was interrupted by loud thundering and lightning. Wadsworth comes in and starts passing out soup. Yvette is also helping. We all have small talk while we eat our soup. Soon our main meal came. I didn't know what it was, but it was very good. After dinner Wadsworth offers us Fruit or dessert. No one wanted any. So we all stood up and we all went to the study. We all sat down. Miss Scarlet started to smoke. Professor Plum had more to drink and Mr. Green came over and sat next to me. We had a conversation about books. It was a very awkward conversation in my opinion. This night was strange, something felt weird about this party, but I went along with it.
