| *** SESSION ONE *** | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask witness" | ||
| CF ] driveway entrance20:00 | ||
| CF | Somewhere near Los Angeles. A cold Friday evening in February 1938. In | ||
| CF | this climate, cold is anywhere below about fifty degrees. Storm clouds | ||
| CF | are swimming across the sky, their bottoms glowing faintly from the | ||
| CF | city lights in the distance. A search light pans slowly under the | ||
| CF | clouds, heralding another film premiere. The air seems expectant, | ||
| CF | waiting for the rain to begin, like a cat waiting for the ineffable | ||
| CF | moment to ambush. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The taxi has just dropped you off at the entrance to the Linders' | ||
| CF | driveway. The driver didn't seem to like venturing into this maze of | ||
| CF | twisty streets any more than you did. But the house windows are full | ||
| CF | of light, and radio music drifts toward you. Your favorite pistol, a | ||
| CF | snub-nosed Colt .32, is snug in its holster. You just picked up a | ||
| CF | match book off the curb. It might come in handy. Good thing you looked | ||
| CF | up the police file on Mrs. Linder's death. Her suicide note and the | ||
| CF | newspaper story told you all you know about the family. The long week | ||
| CF | is finished, except for this appointment. But why does an ominous | ||
| CF | feeling grip you? | ||

| CF | Revision number 22 / Serial number 840924 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now in the driveway entrance. | ||
| CF | You are standing at the foot of the driveway, the entrance to the | ||
| CF | Linder property. The entire lot is screened from the street and the | ||
| CF | neighbors by a wooden fence, except on the east side, which fronts on | ||
| CF | dense bamboo woods. The house looks like a mixture of a California | ||
| CF | bungalow and East Asian influences. From here you can see the driveway | ||
| CF | leading north and, beyond that, the front door. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What should you, the detective, do now? | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask witness" | ||
| CF ] driveway entrance20:00 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > LOAD SLEEPMASK WITNESS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Sorry, but the word "load" is not in the vocabulary that you can | ||
| CF | use.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What should you, the detective, do now? | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "oops sorry" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "NO problem." | ||
| DavidW says, "You should drive. I think since this is a mystery, we need a driver." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "The start feels familiar, but maybe that's just the stereotypical detective game start." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "i" | ||
| CF ] driveway entrance20:01 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > I | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are carrying: | ||
| CF | a telegram | ||
| CF | a pair of handcuffs | ||
| CF | a snub-nosed Colt | ||
| CF | a match book | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "This was one of Infocom's early games, but I think Deadline came before it." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Hm, there could be a time limit it seems like." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "read telegram" | ||
| CF ] driveway entrance20:02 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > READ TELEGRAM | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (You'll find the telegram in your game package.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "hm. There might be a special command for getting Sgt Duffy to analyze evidence." | |
| DavidW says, "oh, I hope there's no copy protection business. I don't remember if they had any for this game." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "n" | ||
| CF ] driveway20:03 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > N | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now on the driveway. | ||
| CF | The driveway, paved with peastone, runs from the entrance at the south | ||
| CF | end in a curve to a two-car garage at the east end. North of you is | ||
| CF | the front porch, the entrance to the house. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "n" | ||
| CF ] front porch20:04 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > N | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now on the front porch. | ||
| CF | The front porch is in an alcove, sheltered from the weather by the | ||
| CF | walls and overhanging roof. A yellowish electric light hangs near the | ||
| CF | closed front door to the east, giving you a dim view of the driveway | ||
| CF | to the south and the front yard behind a gate to the north. | ||
| CF | The gate is closed. A door bell glows at you, almost daring you to | ||
| CF | ring it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ring bell" | ||
| CF ] entry20:05 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > RING BELL | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Someone turns off the radio. You hear footsteps inside the house. Then | ||
| CF | the door swings open. | ||
| CF | "Good evening," says a smiling face, "I am Phong. Please come in." He | ||
| CF | leads you into the house and closes the door behind you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now in the entry. | ||
| CF | Here in the entry is a small Shinto shrine, with a hanging scroll and | ||
| CF | an arrangement of flowers, as well as a coat closet and a platform for | ||
| CF | storing shoes. You can see a hallway to the east. The front door, on | ||
| CF | the west wall, is closed. | ||
| CF | Phong's straight black hair and folded eyelids make him obviously | ||
| CF | Asian, but no definite nationality. His open, almost gentle face holds | ||
| CF | a quick smile and eyes that seem to miss nothing. He carries his stout | ||
| CF | body lightly, but you can see great strength under his light shirt and | ||
| CF | dark trousers. You guess his age at about fifty, but who knows how | ||
| CF | many lifetimes of experience he carries? | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "I was almost tempted to nock, just to be contrarian." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "*knock" | ||
| DavidW says, "telegram image at [LINK]" | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Thanks!" | ||
| DavidW says, "also a note: [LINK]" | ||
| DavidW says, "inside a matchbook: [LINK]" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Hm." | ||
| DavidW says, "and the matchbook cover: [LINK]" | ||
| DavidW says, "I assume you find the matchbook and note in the game somewhere." | ||
| MoyTravis asks, "Did they send a functioning matchbook?" | ||
| DavidW says, "They might have. I don't remember." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "The matchbook we have, and from what I read, the suicide note was in our files." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "I mean, like, in the feelies." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Apparently we just picked up the matchbook as move -1, so to speak." | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't even remember for sure if I had my own copy of Witness or played someone else's. So long ago." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "The game also made mention of a newspaper article in the police files." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "x me" | ||
| CF ] entry20:05 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X ME | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Sorry, but the word "x" is not in the vocabulary that you can use.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "examine me" | ||
| CF ] living room20:06 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > EXAMINE ME | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | There's nothing special about the detective. | ||
| CF | Phong says, "I believe the Linders are in the living room. Please | ||
| CF | follow me." He leads you into a hallway and turns left. This hallway | ||
| CF | seems to run the length of the house, from the garage at the south end | ||
| CF | to the living room at the north. There is enough warm yellow light | ||
| CF | flooding from the living room for you to see a few doors on each side | ||
| CF | of the hall. As you get near the living room, you hear voices talking, | ||
| CF | half-loud and fast. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now in the living room. | ||
| CF | A huge fieldstone fireplace on the south wall holds a blazing fire, | ||
| CF | filling the living room with warmth and light. Grouped in front of the | ||
| CF | fire are a glass-topped coffee table and a rattan davenport and club | ||
| CF | chair, with cushions covered in a print showing bamboo plants in the | ||
| CF | style of Japanese brush-painting. A lamp with a printed shade and a | ||
| CF | telephone sit on the table. | ||
| CF | On the north wall are a liquor cabinet and a console radio made of | ||
| CF | light-colored wood. A single door in the east wall is closed, and at | ||
| CF | the west end of the room is a double door. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Excuse me, sir," says Phong, "but the detective has arrived." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Monica stops talking and looks at you sharply. She is a woman in her | ||
| CF | mid-twenties. Her grey eyes flash, emphasizing her dark waved hair and | ||
| CF | light but effective make-up. She wears a navy Rayon blouse, tan | ||
| CF | slacks, and tan pumps with Cuban heels. She acts as though you were a | ||
| CF | masher who just gave her a whistle. | ||
| CF | Linder stands at least six foot, with a powerful frame but quick | ||
| CF | actions, like a cat. His eyeglasses sit on top of his head, where thin | ||
| CF | strands of long black hair go here and there, mostly combed backward. | ||
| CF | His wide-set hazel eyes size you up quickly from within their pouches | ||
| CF | in his ruddy face. He wears a silk peach-colored Mandarin shirt and | ||
| CF | chocolate trousers, impeccably tailored and laundered, but sweat | ||
| CF | gleams on his high forehead, and he looks as though he hasn't slept | ||
| CF | much lately. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Linder turns to you and says, "Detective, am I glad to see you! This | ||
| CF | is my daughter, Monica, and of course you've met Phong already." He | ||
| CF | looks at a wrist watch with a gleaming silver bracelet. "I see you're | ||
| CF | right on time. I'll be with you as soon as I finish my drink." | ||
| CF | Mr. Phong heads off to the south. | ||
| CF | Suddenly, a clap of thunder rolls across the hills outside. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Mr. Linder is listening.) | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | MoyTravis asks, ""a masher who just gave her a whistle"?" | |
| MoyTravis asks, "Also these be old-timey weebs I guess?" | ||
| MoyTravis asks, "What is a "mandarin shirt"?" | ||
| DavidW says, "Not sure. A Chinese cut or style, I suppose." | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "From context, I would guess "masher giving a whistle" is someone giving a rude catcall?" | ||
| DavidW says, "seems to be mostly about the collar, short and simple and flat." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "I'm googling "mandarin shirt" and these pictures look nothing like what Mandarins looked like." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "I guess!? gah. I'll just be salty over here in the corner then, carry on." | ||
| DavidW says, "yes, a whistle would be a catcall in this context." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "Ah, fair 'nuff, makes sense." | ||
| DavidW says, "And 'masher' is an uncouth gentleman who wants to mash his lips against yours, more or less." | ||
| MoyTravis says, "uh wtf" | ||
| MoyTravis says, "Well okay then." | ||
| DavidW says, "like, I think that's where the word came from." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "The so-called good old days." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ask linder about stiles" | ||
| CF ] living room20:07 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ASK LINDER ABOUT STILES | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "I'll explain all that shortly, after I finish this drink." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Mr. Linder is listening.) | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "well, I think the term got watered down to any man giving unwanted attention to a lady." | |
| MoyTravis asks, "...do we wait? Or x everybody?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "x linder" | ||
| CF ] living room20:07 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X LINDER | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Sorry, but the word "x" is not in the vocabulary that you can use.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Mr. Linder is listening.) | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "I know, I know." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "examine linder" | ||
| CF ] living room20:08 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > EXAMINE LINDER | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Linder stands at least six foot, with a powerful frame but quick | ||
| CF | actions, like a cat. His eyeglasses sit on top of his head, where thin | ||
| CF | strands of long black hair go here and there, mostly combed backward. | ||
| CF | His wide-set hazel eyes size you up quickly from within their pouches | ||
| CF | in his ruddy face. He wears a silk peach-colored Mandarin shirt and | ||
| CF | chocolate trousers, impeccably tailored and laundered, but sweat | ||
| CF | gleams on his high forehead, and he looks as though he hasn't slept | ||
| CF | much lately. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Mr. Linder is listening.) | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "uh, I don't remember much about this game except that the [XXXXX] is important." | |
| MoyTravis says, "Oh it already gave us their descriptions huh." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Apparently the game did." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "talk to linder" | ||
| CF ] living room20:08 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > TALK TO LINDER | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Mr. Linder is listening. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Mr. Linder is listening.) | ||
| CF | What next? | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "wait" | ||
| CF ] office20:15 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > WAIT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Time passes... | ||
| CF | Without warning, lightning flashes outside, and a few seconds later | ||
| CF | thunder rattles the house. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Aren't you getting tired of seeing "(... is listening.)" and "What | ||
| CF | next?" and "You are now in the ...."? From here on, the prompt will be | ||
| CF | much shorter.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Rain begins to fall outside in a sprinkle. | ||
| CF | The rain outside is falling heavily now. | ||
| CF | Linder gulps down the rest of his drink. "Well, Detective," he says, | ||
| CF | "I'm anxious to get on with our business. Let's you and I go to my | ||
| CF | office so we can talk undisturbed." He takes you by the arm and leads | ||
| CF | you through the hallway. Just south of the entry, he opens a door to | ||
| CF | the east and leads you through it. | ||
| CF | (office) | ||
| CF | This is obviously the office of Mr. Linder's company, Pacific Trade | ||
| CF | Associates. At the west end of the office, a massive desk of teak and | ||
| CF | mahogany faces toward the window. It has no drawers, but the top is | ||
| CF | covered with piles of letters, some newspapers, a telephone, and | ||
| CF | various souvenirs from the Far East. | ||
| CF | Behind it is a large ornately-carved chair, like a cruiser escorting a | ||
| CF | battle ship. A simple wooden chair, polished smooth by visitors, | ||
| CF | flanks the desk on the other side. On the north wall is a lounge, | ||
| CF | upholstered in green velvet and a bit lumpy, with a framed wood-block | ||
| CF | picture hanging over it. On the outside wall, next to a door and | ||
| CF | window, stands a grandfather clock, ticking relentlessly. A file | ||
| CF | cabinet stands in the corner. | ||
| CF | The door to the interior hallway is open. | ||
| CF | A cat is sleeping in the corner. | ||
| CF | Linder sits down in the carved chair. | ||
| CF | It's now 8:15 p.m. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "You need to find evidence that the suicide was murder, how it was done, who did it, and why." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, that sounds about right for this genre." | ||
| MoyTravis asks, "And on a timer, huh?" | ||
| DavidW asks, "I think so?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "We do at least have a running clock." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "talk to linder" | ||
| CF ] office20:15 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > TALK TO LINDER | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Mr. Linder is listening. | ||

| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ask linder about stiles" | ||
| CF ] office20:16 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ASK LINDER ABOUT STILES | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Linder begins his story. "My late wife, may she rest in peace, got | ||
| CF | involved with a young man named Stiles. Naturally I tried to stop this | ||
| CF | affair, but without much success. Since my wife passed away, this | ||
| CF | Stiles fellow has gone off the deep end, I'm afraid, and blamed me for | ||
| CF | her death. I tried my best to ignore him, but he seems to have lost | ||
| CF | his senses. This morning I received this note and decided to ask your | ||
| CF | help." He hands the note to you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "read note" | ||
| CF ] office20:17 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > READ NOTE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The note is written in a spidery hand on fine rag paper. It says: | ||
| CF | "Linder -- | ||
| CF | Since Virginia died, I've lost too much sleep because of you and your | ||
| CF | harrassments. The time has come to put this matter to rest once and | ||
| CF | for all. I'll be seeing you sooner than you imagine. | ||
| CF | -- Stiles" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ask linder about harrassments" | ||
| CF ] office20:17 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ASK LINDER ABOUT HARRASSMENTS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Sorry, but the word "harrassments" is not in the vocabulary that you | ||
| CF | can use.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "But, but.." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ask linder about note" | ||
| CF ] office20:18 | ||

| CF ] office20:20 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ASK LINDER ABOUT STILES | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "All I know about Stiles is that he's a writer of some kind, and | ||
| CF | sometimes he plays bit parts in films. I've never really met the man." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW asks, "ask him about alibi?" | |
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ask linder about alibi" | ||
| CF ] office20:20 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ASK LINDER ABOUT ALIBI | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Sorry, but the program doesn't recognize the word "alibi".) | ||
| CF | | ||

| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "ask linder about monica" | ||
| CF ] office20:21 | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | "He and I go back a long time. Met in Asia, you know. And since I | ||
| CF | spend as much time there as here, he takes care of the house for me. A | ||
| CF | fine fellow, and I trust him implicitly." | ||
| CF | | ||

| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "examine clock" | ||
| CF ] office20:24 | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > EXAMINE CLOCK | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This is a full-blown "grandfather" clock, seven feet tall, run by | ||
| CF | weights and regulated by a pendulum, whose dial shows day, date, and | ||
| CF | phase of the moon besides the time. According to the dial, today is | ||
| CF | Friday the 18th, the moon is just past full, and the time is now 8:23 | ||

| CF | > EXAMINE DESK | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | At the west end of the office, a massive desk of teak and mahogany | ||
| CF | faces toward the window. It has no drawers, but the top is covered | ||
| CF | with piles of letters, some newspapers, a telephone, and various | ||
| CF | souvenirs from the Far East. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Today's L.A. Times has the usual sort of stories: secret records of | ||
| CF | the police intelligence squad were seized in connection with an | ||
| CF | attempt to assassinate private detective Harry Raymond; "Two Officers | ||
| CF | Die in Battle With Maniac"; "Slayer of Tijuana Girl Executed under | ||
| CF | Fugitive Law"; and "Austria Near Hitler Yoke." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "Those might even be real headlines." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Maybe. Can't quite check for 1938 newspapers right now." | ||
| DavidW says, "yeah, no rush." | ||

| CF | > EXAMINE ORNATE CHAIR | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The chair looks like teak, covered with carvings of vines and slithery | ||
| CF | creatures that you wouldn't like to meet in a jungle. | ||
| CF | The rain storm outside has passed now. | ||

| CF | Somewhere near Los Angeles. A cold Friday evening in February 1938. In | ||
| CF | this climate, cold is anywhere below about fifty degrees. Storm clouds | ||
| CF | are swimming across the sky, their bottoms glowing faintly from the | ||
| CF | city lights in the distance. A search light pans slowly under the | ||
| CF | clouds, heralding another film premiere. The air seems expectant, | ||
| CF | waiting for the rain to begin, like a cat waiting for the ineffable | ||
| CF | moment to ambush. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The taxi has just dropped you off at the entrance to the Linders' | ||
| CF | driveway. The driver didn't seem to like venturing into this maze of | ||
| CF | twisty streets any more than you did. But the house windows are full | ||
| CF | of light, and radio music drifts toward you. Your favorite pistol, a | ||
| CF | snub-nosed Colt .32, is snug in its holster. You just picked up a | ||
| CF | match book off the curb. It might come in handy. Good thing you looked | ||
| CF | up the police file on Mrs. Linder's death. Her suicide note and the | ||
| CF | newspaper story told you all you know about the family. The long week | ||
| CF | is finished, except for this appointment. But why does an ominous | ||
| CF | feeling grip you? | ||

| CF | Linder property. The entire lot is screened from the street and the | ||
| CF | neighbors by a wooden fence, except on the east side, which fronts on | ||
| CF | dense bamboo woods. The house looks like a mixture of a California | ||
| CF | bungalow and East Asian influences. From here you can see the driveway | ||

| CF | The front porch is in an alcove, sheltered from the weather by the | ||
| CF | walls and overhanging roof. A yellowish electric light hangs near the | ||
| CF | closed front door to the east, giving you a dim view of the driveway | ||
| CF | to the south and the front yard behind a gate to the north. | ||
| CF | The gate is closed. A door bell glows at you, almost daring you to | ||

| CF | Someone turns off the radio. You hear footsteps inside the house. Then | ||
| CF | the door swings open. | ||
| CF | "Good evening," says a smiling face, "I am Phong. Please come in." He | ||
| CF | leads you into the house and closes the door behind you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now in the entry. | ||
| CF | Here in the entry is a small Shinto shrine, with a hanging scroll and | ||
| CF | an arrangement of flowers, as well as a coat closet and a platform for | ||
| CF | storing shoes. You can see a hallway to the east. The front door, on | ||
| CF | the west wall, is closed. | ||
| CF | Phong's straight black hair and folded eyelids make him obviously | ||
| CF | Asian, but no definite nationality. His open, almost gentle face holds | ||
| CF | a quick smile and eyes that seem to miss nothing. He carries his stout | ||
| CF | body lightly, but you can see great strength under his light shirt and | ||
| CF | dark trousers. You guess his age at about fifty, but who knows how | ||
| CF | many lifetimes of experience he carries? | ||

| CF | Phong says, "I believe the Linders are in the living room. Please | ||
| CF | follow me." He leads you into a hallway and turns left. This hallway | ||
| CF | seems to run the length of the house, from the garage at the south end | ||
| CF | to the living room at the north. There is enough warm yellow light | ||
| CF | flooding from the living room for you to see a few doors on each side | ||
| CF | of the hall. As you get near the living room, you hear voices talking, | ||
| CF | half-loud and fast. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You are now in the living room. | ||
| CF | A huge fieldstone fireplace on the south wall holds a blazing fire, | ||
| CF | filling the living room with warmth and light. Grouped in front of the | ||
| CF | fire are a glass-topped coffee table and a rattan davenport and club | ||
| CF | chair, with cushions covered in a print showing bamboo plants in the | ||
| CF | style of Japanese brush-painting. A lamp with a printed shade and a | ||
| CF | telephone sit on the table. | ||
| CF | On the north wall are a liquor cabinet and a console radio made of | ||
| CF | light-colored wood. A single door in the east wall is closed, and at | ||
| CF | the west end of the room is a double door. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Excuse me, sir," says Phong, "but the detective has arrived." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Monica stops talking and looks at you sharply. She is a woman in her | ||
| CF | mid-twenties. Her grey eyes flash, emphasizing her dark waved hair and | ||
| CF | light but effective make-up. She wears a navy Rayon blouse, tan | ||
| CF | slacks, and tan pumps with Cuban heels. She acts as though you were a | ||
| CF | masher who just gave her a whistle. | ||
| CF | Linder stands at least six foot, with a powerful frame but quick | ||
| CF | actions, like a cat. His eyeglasses sit on top of his head, where thin | ||
| CF | strands of long black hair go here and there, mostly combed backward. | ||
| CF | His wide-set hazel eyes size you up quickly from within their pouches | ||
| CF | in his ruddy face. He wears a silk peach-colored Mandarin shirt and | ||
| CF | chocolate trousers, impeccably tailored and laundered, but sweat | ||
| CF | gleams on his high forehead, and he looks as though he hasn't slept | ||
| CF | much lately. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Linder turns to you and says, "Detective, am I glad to see you! This | ||
| CF | is my daughter, Monica, and of course you've met Phong already." He | ||
| CF | looks at a wrist watch with a gleaming silver bracelet. "I see you're | ||
| CF | right on time. I'll be with you as soon as I finish my drink." | ||
| CF | Mr. Phong heads off to the south. | ||
| CF | It's now 8:04 p.m. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Mr. Linder is listening.) | ||

| CF | Suddenly, a clap of thunder rolls across the hills outside. | ||
| CF | Without warning, lightning flashes outside, and a few seconds later | ||
| CF | thunder rattles the house. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Aren't you getting tired of seeing "(... is listening.)" and "What | ||
| CF | next?" and "You are now in the ...."? From here on, the prompt will be | ||
| CF | much shorter.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Rain begins to fall outside in a sprinkle. | ||
| CF | Linder gulps down the rest of his drink. "Well, Detective," he says, | ||
| CF | "I'm anxious to get on with our business. Let's you and I go to my | ||
| CF | office so we can talk undisturbed." He takes you by the arm and leads | ||
| CF | you through the hallway. Just south of the entry, he opens a door to | ||
| CF | the east and leads you through it. | ||
| CF | (office) | ||
| CF | This is obviously the office of Mr. Linder's company, Pacific Trade | ||
| CF | Associates. At the west end of the office, a massive desk of teak and | ||
| CF | mahogany faces toward the window. It has no drawers, but the top is | ||
| CF | covered with piles of letters, some newspapers, a telephone, and | ||
| CF | various souvenirs from the Far East. | ||
| CF | Behind it is a large ornately-carved chair, like a cruiser escorting a | ||
| CF | battle ship. A simple wooden chair, polished smooth by visitors, | ||
| CF | flanks the desk on the other side. On the north wall is a lounge, | ||
| CF | upholstered in green velvet and a bit lumpy, with a framed wood-block | ||
| CF | picture hanging over it. On the outside wall, next to a door and | ||
| CF | window, stands a grandfather clock, ticking relentlessly. A file | ||
| CF | cabinet stands in the corner. | ||
| CF | The door to the interior hallway is open. | ||
| CF | A cat is sleeping in the corner. | ||
| CF | Linder sits down in the carved chair. | ||
| CF | It's now 8:13 p.m. | ||

| CF | affair, but without much success. Since my wife passed away, this | ||
| CF | Stiles fellow has gone off the deep end, I'm afraid, and blamed me for | ||
| CF | her death. I tried my best to ignore him, but he seems to have lost | ||

| CF | The bedroom is elegant but not tidy. A four-poster bed, chair and | ||
| CF | dresser, made of teak and mahogany, look hand-crafted. There are doors | ||
| CF | on the west and south walls, and a door and window to the east look | ||
| CF | outside. Clothes and newspapers are scattered about. It seems that | ||

| CF | style of Japanese brush-painting. A lamp with a printed shade and a | ||

| CF | On the north wall are a liquor cabinet and a console radio made of | ||
| CF | light-colored wood. The radio is playing. A single door in the east | ||

| CF | Text of a letter from Police Chief Klutz dated February 28: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Dear Detective: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The elaborate set-up in Mr. Linder's office was ingenious. You | ||
| CF | deserve congratulations for your work in detecting it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I am sorry to report that the trial jury acquitted Monica Linder of | ||
| CF | the murder of her father. Apparently they believed that the available | ||
| CF | evidence against her was circumstantial, since there was no definite | ||
| CF | link between her and the hidden gun mechanism. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The case has come to an end. Would you like to start your | ||
| CF | investigation over from scratch? (Answer YES or NO.) > | Knight_Otu says, "The mechanism she admitted to? Okay, jury." | |

| CF | Somewhere near Los Angeles. A cold Friday evening in February 1938. In | ||
| CF | this climate, cold is anywhere below about fifty degrees. Storm clouds | ||
| CF | are swimming across the sky, their bottoms glowing faintly from the | ||
| CF | city lights in the distance. A search light pans slowly under the | ||
| CF | clouds, heralding another film premiere. The air seems expectant, | ||
| CF | waiting for the rain to begin, like a cat waiting for the ineffable | ||
| CF | moment to ambush. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The taxi has just dropped you off at the entrance to the Linders' | ||
| CF | driveway. The driver didn't seem to like venturing into this maze of | ||
| CF | twisty streets any more than you did. But the house windows are full | ||
| CF | of light, and radio music drifts toward you. Your favorite pistol, a | ||
| CF | snub-nosed Colt .32, is snug in its holster. You just picked up a | ||
| CF | match book off the curb. It might come in handy. Good thing you looked | ||
| CF | up the police file on Mrs. Linder's death. Her suicide note and the | ||
| CF | newspaper story told you all you know about the family. The long week | ||
| CF | is finished, except for this appointment. But why does an ominous | ||
| CF | feeling grip you? | ||
