7 Round 1 - Terror on the tracks Round Instructions Gautier Seet should read the introduction. General Clue (Share with all Guests) INTRODUCTION TO BE READ BY GAUTIER SEET AT THE START OF ROUND 1 Bonsoir Mesdames et monsieurs. Pardon, it may be better if I speak in ze English. Thank you all for coming to the restaurant car. On behalf of Le Compagnie International Des Wagons Lits I must apologise for ze heavy breaking and the abrupt stopping of ze train a few moments ago. I have been trying to establish what caused ze train to stop in such an emergency fashion and I have some terrible news. It appears that ze train stopped because Lord Dunnit pulled ze communication cord outside compartment 8 in carriage B. Lord Dunnit had just found his wife, who you all know as Agatha Frisky, lying on ze floor of ze compartment. Madame Frisky has been examined by ze nurse Miss DeMeenur and I am afraid to announce that she is dead. Due to the bluish-purple discolouration of her skin it appears that she has been poisoned and we will all have to wait on board ze train until ze police allow us to leave. Although we are on French soil at the moment the investigation will be carried out by some English policemen from Scotland Yard. They are on the trail of a jewel thief and have agreed to help out as so many people speak English. At present they are examining the crime scene and until they arrive here to question us we must remain here in the restaurant cart. We might as well try to solve this mystery ourselves.

9 Round 1 Clue for Colonel Nutt clue REVEAL THIS INFORMATION NOW Good evening to all of you gentlemen and sahibs. My name is Colonel Nutt, first name is Filbert but everybody calls me The Colonel.

I retired just over a year ago after a long and distinguished army career and I am only just getting used to the English weather again. It is really strange to meet so many people that I know on the train. I was coming away on this trip to try and relax after a stressful time. I didn t expect to meet my neighbour Hugh Dunnit and his sahib. This clue should be revealed to others.

10 Round 1 Clue for Jess Plane-Frisky clue REVEAL THIS INFORMATION NOW Hello everybody. I am Jess, Agatha s daughter. Actually it s Jess Plane-Frisky as I got married to Alex two days ago. I love being a newly wed on honeymoon and this train is so luxurious. It s a shame there are no double beds, just bunk beds. I was hoping that a couple of days on the same train as Mummy might give me a chance to get back into her good books. I think that she was a touch miffed that I eloped off to Gretna with Alex to get married without inviting her along. Now I ll never have a chance for her to be proud of me.
