Bonjour,
Réponse :
The detective IS QUESTIONING all the people who WERE in the house
when the crime was COMMITTED. All of them are witnesses but also
potential suspects.
She wants to know where they WERE and what they WERE DOING when
Mrs Ashes was KILLED.
Miss Belle WAS HAVING tea while Mrs McLean WAS DUSTING the
bookshelves. Both of them WERE in the conservatory when they HEARD a
loud bang coming from the study.So they CLIMBED UP the stairs and
NOTICED the door was open: Mrs Ashes WAS LYING on the floor.The two
women WERE so shocked that they couldn’t speak, they DIDN’T
SCREAM.
Mr Shaw WAS TAKING a nap in the garden. He WAS SLEEPING when he
HEARD screams coming from the house.The screams WOKE him up and
he FELL from his hammock and SCRATCHED his arms in the rose
bushes.
Lord Henry Woolen WAS in his bedroom upstairs but he WASN’T
SLEEPING, he WAS WRITING a letter to a friend. He WAS PUTTING it in
an envelope when he HEARD the gunshot. Then he HEARD footsteps in
the stairs, so he CAME out of his bedroom and SAW the door of the office
open.He SAW Mrs Belle anD Mrs Mclean who WERE STANDING next to
Mrs Ashes’s dead body.
