Answer 1

'Is this a dagger which I see before me?' he asked. The blinking idiot.
'Lord, what fools these mortals be,' I said to myself.
'No, my lord,' I replied, 'it is a sausage roll.'
He was not amused. 'A plague on both your houses,' he cried.
'No, come on,' I retaliated, 'curse the one in Kensington, if you must, but leave my country retreat alone.'
He never managed to develop a sense of humour, 'Oh villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!'
That really upset me, who was he calling a 'villein'? ' You jumped up idiot. I'm no serf.'
I threw my whiskey over him, more in sorrow than in anger.
True to form, materialistic sod, he stepped back. Flicked the golden fluid from his waistcoat and, his eyes gleaming, muttered, 'The expense of spirit in a waste of shame.'

We heard the front door open. Suddenly, his demeanour changed. More in sorrow than in anger, he came close and whispered in my ear, 'Something wicked this way comes.'

How very true. His wife had returned from her shopping spree.
He stepped behind me, 'So what's the damage to your credit card today?' he asked, eyeing the expensive, green carrier bags.

That's when I took my leave.
He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf.

As I left I heard her cry, 'Out, out, damn spot!' and his reply: 'So you've been to Harley Street as well!'

The death notice in The Times simply read: 'Lord and Lady Smidgen, as the result of a tragic accident...'

The Home Office pathologist was unable to establish who had fired first. Noblesse oblige!

My mom is pretty patient most of the time with my brother and I, but it seems she has had with us this time. She called us to help set up her new home theater system because she didn't want to pay the store to do it. She was in a hurry by the time we got there because she did not want to miss her favorite show (8) "Somthing Wicked This Way Comes."

(1) "A plague on both you houses" she shouted at us as the start time for her show came and went. I tried to calm her down but she just responded by saying "(4) O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!! " Well, I hated to be called a villain, especially by my mother. After all, I was just trying to help her save some money.

She didn't care about that any longer, having already missed her show. I can hear her ranting at my brother now. (2) "Lord, what fools these mortals be." she said, obviously including me in her statement. I did feel like (5) a blinking idiot by now especially when I looked at that mess of wires, all of which were still unconnected. I think by now I recognize (6) how sharper that a serpent's tooth you really need to be to connect all this stuff correctly.

They say (9) "the expense of spirit in a waste of shame." If that's true, my mom has a lot to be ashamed of as she has spent a ton of spirit in her diatribe. Her ranting and raving has been bad enough so far but I know that (8) something wicked this way comes as soon as she finds out that Gunsmoke is on in 10 minutes, and there is no way this is going to be fixed by then. I can tell by the time she finally kicks us out and calls the store for help, (7) it will be more in sorrow than in anger. Sorrow for the clueless technonerds her sons turned out to be.

I'd better go now because she is really becoming a drama queen now. (3) "Is this a dagger which I see before me?" Pleeasse!!! It's only Gunsmoke, Mom!!! Oh, Oh, that might have been the wrong thing to say. Gotta run...fast!!!!

I know this doesn't sound like a mystery. But it's a mystery to me how I am ever going to clean this mess up.

Answer 3

Have had a rotten week. Both us and the neighbours have been feeling ill. Anyway - we called in a doctor last night and guess what ?? He turned up, looked at me and then my neighbour and announces 'You've A plague on both your houses' !!! Well - not knowing quite how to deal with the plague, the doctor suggests we call in an ancient old witchdoctor guy to remove the plague.
This morning there was a knock on the door and when I opened it there stood this chap looking a bit like Catweazle. I explained to him what was wrong and he replied 'Lord what fools these mortals be' - he certainly seemed strange.
I invited him in to look around and he was nosey, looking in cupboards and drawers. Suddenly he shouted 'Is this a dagger I see before me'? I ran through to the kitchen in a panic - false alarm, I explained it was my utensil drawer and that was my carving knife he was looking at.!!

At this point my husband arrived home and walked in to say hello to the wizardly old man. As he held his hand out the old guy just looked at him and said ' O villain, villain, smiling damned villain' - I explained it was my husband but the old guy just huffed and walked away. My husband wasn't amused and referred to the man as 'A blinking idiot'.
Still the man carried on looking round the house muttering to himself things like 'How sharper than a serpents tooth'. My husband sighed - more in sorrow than in anger really - he didn't feel this man could help. I asked the man if he thought we had the plague on the houses and his reply was 'Something wicked this way comes' - I still didnt know if that was a yes or a no!!.

Feeling tense by now I thought maybe if I offer the man a drink it may calm things down, so having asked him he said 'The expense of spirit in a waste of shame'. Sprits I thought - I only meant a coffee !!!

By now my dog who I'd shut out in the garden was whining and barking to come in. I opened the door and let him in - big mistake !! The old guy backed away in terror 'He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf' he cried. By now I'd had enough and asked the man to leave. What a waste of time - I never did find out if we are plagued or if he managed to rid us of it !! xx

"ARGH" screamed they villager, "my whisky, it's gone! The expense of spirit in a waste of shame..."

"A blinking idiot," muttered the moderately wealthy villagers wife.

More in sorrow than in anger at the loss of this possession, the villager sunk deep into the bottle he had hidden under his bed. His wife, tucking him intobed, laughed to herself. Oh villain, villain, smiling damned villain she smirked to herself.

The villager, as if waking from a nightmare, jolted upright, screaming "something wicked this way comes!"

A pause.

"Oh. It's you, my dear. That explains it."

He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf. His foxy lady inhaled the sweet perfume of her prize as she let the fiery liquid soothe her throat and lull her eyes to drowse.

"Lord, what fools these mortals be," she laughed to herself, dozing off to sleep with the bottle of whisky in her hand.
