Chapter 1 Sunset Towers
In chapter 1 a man named Barney Northrup is selling apartments. Barney Northrup mailed 6 letters to 6 people. One of those lucky 6 people is Grace Windsor Wexler. It looks like Jake and Grace don't really like their daughter, Turtle, who seems to be a brat people might say. Then, there's a girl, Sydelle Pulask. She's not very happy with the room she sees from Barney Northrup but buys the apartment anyway. So all of the people who had an appointment with Barney Northrup to see the apartments bought the ones they saw. But, there might also be a bookie, a burglar, a bomber, or one big mistake.
Chapter 2 Ghosts or Worst
In chapter 2 the people who bought the apartments moved in already and just say "hello" or "good evening". Then Turtle Wexler the daughter of Grace Wexler and Jake Wexler rode her bike to everyone that there was smoke coming from the Westing House. Most people knew that though but, Otis Amber and Turtle think that man who lived there or still is, Mr. Westing, is on an island in the south and other people say he's dead. So during chapter 2 Otis is telling Theo, Turtle, and Doug a story that happened on Halloween last year. There was a spy and it was Chris the brother of Theo and he was spying on them because he thinks he saw Theo make a bet with Turtle. Then, Chris noticed something or someone and that someone walked in the Westing House with a limp then that someone disappeared.
Chapter 3 Tenants In and Out
In chapter 3 a girl named Angela Wexler who is also the daughter of Jake and Grace Wexler. Anegla is fitting her wedding dress and is engaged to Doctor Denton Deere. Flora Baumbach, Angela, Grace Wexler, and Turtle are talking about the Westing House and how it has smoke coming from the chimney. Turtle was being a smart mouth and was saying mean things about Doctor Denton Deere. Now everyone hears about the Westing House and the smoke coming out from the chimney. A lady named JJ Ford said that Otis is stupid. Chris is telling a story about the Westing House and about Mr. Westing and his death. But, Chris knew who was up there in the Westing House with the limp but won't tell who but, there are a lot of limpers becuse Turtle is kicking almost everyone.
Chapter 4 The Corpse Found
In chapter 4 it's Halloween and Turtle is a witch. Turtle made a bet with Theo for every minute she would get 2 dollars. The only thing Turtle brought with he was a sandwich, a flashlight, and a necklace with a cross on it. Turtle went in and it's been 11 minutes until she heard a scream of a little girl. So once she heard the noise coming closer to her she ran out of there to a different room. While Turtle was in there she heard another sound she thought it was saying purple but, she also thought it said Turtle. When she woke up she saw the paper and it said Sam Westing was found dead. When Turtle read the article it something about 2 million and a private funeral.
Chapter 5 Sixteen Heirs
In chapter 5 almost everyone from the Sunset Towers who had bought an apartment there had to come to the library for something, probably something that has to do with the coffin sitting in the room. Everyone came except for Jake Wexler because of the Green Bay Packers game on and Madame Sun Lin Hoo. Mr. Hoo didn't want to be there because of the Green Bay Packers game too. For some reason JJ Ford was staring at Theo's hand probably because his skin color was a lot lighter than J.J. Ford's hand. Sydelle came late because of her rainbow painted crutches and says that she's still trying to figure them out. Turtle noticed something about the crutches it had purple stripes and that's all
because she remembered in the Westing House how she heard someone calling purple waves. Then, Dr. Denton Deere nearly fell backwards off his chair
for some reason.
because she remembered in the Westing House how she heard someone calling purple waves. Then, Dr. Denton Deere nearly fell backwards off his chair
for some reason.
Chapter 6 The Westing Will
In chapter 6 everyone except for Madame Sun Lin Hoo and Jake Wexler are in the library and EJ Plum was reading about the death of Samuel Westing and what a paper which talks about his death. They find out that they are all cousins because in the paper it said I have gathered my 16 nieces and nephews. Because of that, that might mean that Angela and Dr. Denton might not be able to get married. While reading the paper EJ Plum reads a part about how he dies and he said it wasn't because of natural causes, it was a murder. So that's what people were talking about and the people were going against each other. When Mr. Hoo said it must've been because of all of that greasy stuff at the coffee shop. In the paper Samuel Westing said something about a game to find the murderer and you will be rewarded with riches.
Chapter 7 The Westing Game
What happens in chapter 7 is that EJ Plum told the instructions from the paper and it said that the people will be divided into teams of 8 and there's 16 people so that meant 2 people per team but they didn't get to choose who they're with. The first team is Madame Sun Lin Hoo (cook) and Jake Wexler (standing or sitting when not lying down). The second team is Turtle Wexler (witch) and Flora Baumbach (dressmaker). Third team is Christos (Chris) Theodorakis (birdwatcher) and Doctor Denton Deere (intern St. Joesph Hospital Department of Plastic Surgery). Fourth team is Alexander (Sandy) McSouthers (doorman) and JJ Ford (judge Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court. The fifth team is Grace Windsor Wexler (heiress) and James Shin Hoo (restaurateur). The sixth team is Berthe Erica Crow (good salvation soup kitchen) and Otis Amber (deliverer). Seventh team is Theo Theodorakis (brother) and Doug Hoo (first in all-state high school mile run). The last team is Sydelle Pulaski (secretary to the president) and Angela Wexler (none). SO when they found out their partners they had got their clues and sort them out to make something and get a check. Most of the people who they were with weren't very happy but others like who they were with. For example Turtle said she was hoping for one of the high school seniors especially Doug Hoo and Mr. Hoo didn't get how Jake got paired up with his wife because she speaks no English, plus when Angela found out she was partnered with Sydelle she wondered how did I end up with this freak but, on the other hand Sydelle loved that she got paired with a pretty and young girl to get some attention. Dr. Denton Deere didn't really like that he was paired up with Chris because since he was almost a doctor and Chris was handicapped he didn't see why he had to be paired up with him and Grace thought that Dr. Denton should've been paired with Angela since they were getting married. Mrs. Crow calls Mr. Westing a nickname and that nickname is "windy". Sydelle was the only who took notes on the will.
Chapter 8 The Paired Heirs
In chapter 8 the teams are trying really hard to figure out what their clues mean. Some people are frustrated because their partner isn't very good help but, people are trying very hard and aren't getting anything but clues that might or might not help them. People are talking about how they really need that will that Sydelle has but, isn't going to give it to anyone but Angela. Angela snooped through Turtle's diary to see it there's anything about the clues she has to help Angela and Sydelle. Meanwhile, Grace and Mr. Hoo aren't really cooperating because Grace talks about other people and the things she's talking about aren't very nice so Mr. Hoo told to stop being mean. Mr. Hoo and Grace had an argument about how Mr. Hoo eats too much and how Grace is talking rude things about other people. Chris was looking at a geography book and was looking at the grains. While looking at the grains he tried to do something with some name and the some of the names of the grains for example Chris's clues said FOR PLAIN GRAIN SHED, so he did grain = oats = Otis Amber and for + d (from shed) = ford. But, he knew JJ Ford and Otis Amber didn't do it because Otis or the judge didn't limp because it was a limper and he knew Sydelle's limp was fake. But, JJ Ford knows who it was though. Sydelle went back to her apartment and she noticed that someone in Sunset Towers stole the shorthanded notebook. Jake and Madame Sun quitted. Turtle and Flora's clues are SEA MOUNTAIN AM O and Turtle thought that she could use the stock market to help. Grace and Mr. Hoo's clues are FRUITED PURPLE WAVES FOR SEA and Grace said that the murder might live in 4C and Mr. Hoo lives in 4C. Theo and Doug's clues are HIS N ON TO FOR. J.J. and Sandy's clues are SKIES AM SHINIG BROTHER and they thought that brother would have to do with the Theodorakis brother's. Angela and Sydelle's clues are GOOD GRACE FROM HOOD SPACIOUS.
Chapter 9 Lost and Found
In chapter 9 on the back of the elevator there was a note there just saying there is a lost paper and return to Sydelle Pulaski in room 3C. At the end of the day no one returned the paper but, more and more people wrote what they're missing and to come eat at Mr. Hoo's restaurant. Grace is being nice to Turtle for some reason and calling her pretty and Turtle on the other hand is wondering what's going. Grace was only being nice to Turtle to hear her clues so she could use them. Everyone is going to the party but with their partners. Everyone was enjoying party except for Mr.Hoo because he hated parties. He hated that people were acting like clowns, eating, drinking, and jabbering then he picked up a few clues. He said he'll be right back because thinks he found a clue.
Chapter 10 The Long Party
Grace wanted her and her husband, Jake, to be fashionably late but they weren't because Grace didn't want to miss anything a clue or be in an apartment with a burglar so she got there at the right time. JJ Ford wanted to know how Grace and her family are related to the Westing family. So Grace explained how but then JJ had to greet the other guests. The party went on forever because no one wanted to leave first. So, the people just drank, ate, and jabbered. Jake tried to talk to Madame Sun but it didn't work out because she kept on saying words that wouldn't make sense. JJ was talking about Angela and how she was getting married. Then, Sydelle jumps in talking about how Anegla has all the luck. JJ was staring at two people who were not Westing heirs. The people who were not Westing heirs are George and Catherine Theodorakis. They are the parents of Theo and Chris Theodorakis. Chris was keeping a look out for people who had a limp but the only people who had a limp were Theo because Turtle kicked him in the shin again and Grace because of her high heels. The party still went on and the guest jabbered about the weather, the football game, chess, and twins. Turtle wasn't enjoying herself because she was surrounded by dumb grown ups she calls them. Turtle said a verse from the will and Sydelle heard and she thinks Turtle stole the will. After that little show Sydelle putted on it was time to go home.
Chapter 11 The Meeting
In the beginning of chapter 11 Turtle needed someone to make her hair into a braid but her mother wasn't there so her mother said that when she's not there Angela has to do it. But, Angela wasn't there either. So she asked Flora Baumbach. While Flora was braiding Turtle's hair she was talking about how her daughter had nice soft hair because Tturtle's hair was thick. So, Flora was going on about how every mother thinks that her daughter is beautiful then she said that her daughter, Rosalie an exceptional child. Then, Turtle told Flora why people call her Turtle because when she was little she use to peek her head out of her blanket but her real name is Alice so, Turtle and Flora made a connection. Grace and Mr. Hoo were in the hall and talking then Mr. Hoo asked wheres Turtle and Grace said probably helping her father bookkeeping. Then for no reason Mr. Hoo started laughing for no reason so Grace started laughing to becuse she wanted people to be jealous of her for her private conversation. Meanwhile Judge Ford, Theo, Chris, Grace, and Mr. Hoo were at the coffee shop talking about their clues. Then Chris brought up an idea that maybe if you put all of our clues together that maybe there would be one big clue. When they were talking Sydelle came in and told them that they were theifs. Because she thought that Mr. Hoo or Grace stole her notebook and read it. But, Mr.Hoo claims tht he found it on the table and didn't read it. Plus they couldn't read it because it was in polish. When Doug asked what Turtle's real name Grace said it's Tabitha-Ruth and Flora said it's Alice.
Chapter 12 The First Bomb
In chapter 12 there were bangs, screams, and confusion. Mrs.Theodorakis ran out of the room with blood splattered all over her. Then Mrs. Theodarkis realized it just tomato sauce not blood. But, Mr. Theodorakis said that there was been a bomb. But, no one knew for sure so JJ said she's going to report it to the policemen. Turtle comes in mad because she thinks that Angela stole her newspaper but she gave it back to her. Then, there was some drama between Turtle and Sydelle because Sydelle said that maybe Turtle's jealous of her sister and then Turtle said maybe. Then, Turtle said well I don't need a crutch to get some attention. So, that went too far for Sydelle. Sydelle said then Turtle's crutch is a big mouth.
Chapter 13 The Second Bomb
In chapter 13 the coffee shop is closed so now Mr. Hoo has a good chance to get some customers. Grace is working the tables while Mr. Hoo's wife is the cook. Mr. Hoo couldn't find Madame Sun so he looked on the fourth floor and found her kneeling and in front of her bamboo trunk and is fingering memento's from her childhood. Then, Mr. Hoo and Grace are arguing about how Grace thinks that Mr. Hoo was a little too hard on Doug because he came from running a flight of stairs and then Mr. Hoo was talking to him about how he should stop running and take a shower and put on his busboy outfit. So Grace thought that he was a little hard on him and then Mr. Hoo thinks that Grace is too easy and not that hard on Angela. The only people who ordered to their rooms was Mrs. and Mr. Theodorakis. The other people were in line at the reservation desk waiting for Grace. Sydelle tried to get people to be jealous of her by laughing with Chris like it's some kind of special secret but no one was jealous or wondering what they were talking about. It seems like Theo likes Angela because he's giving a description of her like he called her beautiful and unattainable. He didn't want to say anything childish or stupid to her so Theo might have a crush on Angela. Angela and Theo were having a conversation about Chris's medical expensive's and what college Theo wanted to go to and what Theo would be when he grows up. Flora were talking to JJ about her bridal and groom store and how she hoped to use this special lace that's been in her family for three years until her daughter, Rosalie, pasted away so that's why she's using it for Angela's dress. Turtle said's that she knows that her father is a bookie somehow. When Mr. Hoo said Otis Amber is here then that's when the second bomb went off. Someone got injured when the bomb went off so Jake called the ambulance. The injured person was Sydelle but she also wanted attention. Sydelle wanted Angela but her mother wouldn't let her go then her father said she could go. The policemen and the firemen came and they said that if those sprinklers didn't work Mr. Hoo would've had a good fire to start. Then, Jake asked about how there were two bombs in a row and the policemen said nothing usual especially with this weather.
Chapter 14 Pairs Repaired
In chapter 14 the pairs are still trying to figure out their clues and others are talking about how their partners wouldn't be the murder. Otis Amber and Mrs. Crow lost their clues. But, Mrs. Corw said that she remembered them that's not what Otis was upset about. He was upset becasue someone might've read them or that someone was listening to them and someone was listening to them it was Grace. Meanwhile Dr. Deere visited Chris about the clues and was talking about what he does. But, Chris didn't need his charity. Chris put the clues to something that would make more sense like, f-for p-plain g-grain then he came up with this g-grain-oats-Otis Amber and f-for, shed-she f-Ford. So what he really came up with is Ford live in apartment 4D. Turtle and Flora were looking at the stock market. Meanwhile, Sandy and Judge Ford were talking about their clues and Sandy came up something from his clues which were SKIES AM SHINING BROTHER he found this, SKIES- Sikes (Dr. Sikes witnessed thewill), AM BrothER- Amber (Otis Amber), SHINing-Shin (the middle name of James Shin Hoo or what Turtle kicks), and BROTHER-Theo or Chris Theodorakis. Then, Judge Ford reminded Sandy that there's only one name. Theo still likes Angela and was trying to get her to like him even though she's getting married to Dr. Deere. Theo told her that the librarian found that quotation which was May God thy gold refine. But, Angela wasn't looking for that Flora and Turtle who wanted to find that quotation but didn't remind him. Anglea was waiting for Dr. Deere and he showed up. They were having a conversation about how Dr. Deere couldn't drive Angela home because he was on duty. Dr. Deere said to Angela that her crazy partner isn't dying and Angela said that she's not crazy. Then, Dr. Deere said that she made up her own disease and said that nothing was wrong with her legs until the explosion in the Chinese restaurant. Angela did not want to get married right away but didn't tell him because she knew he would be hurt. Plus the engagement was in the newspaper and they had the shower and the wedding gown all ready but they would realize that she wasn't perfect. Angela went to the hospital to check on the Sydelle and the Doctor said that she wanted some attention and that she was lonely. When Angela was in the room saying hello to Sydelle, Sydelle asked for her makeup bag. So, while looking for the makeup bag Angela found a letter that was written strange it read, Forgive me, my daughter. God bless you, my child. Delight in your love and the devil take doctor dear. Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? The time draws near. With two extra clues that say THY BEAUTIFUL.
Chapter 15 Fact and Gossip
What happens in chapter 15 is that everything went back to normal, Doug ran as usual, Turtle got sent to the principal's office twice that day. Theo's coffee shop was open and was in business and Mr. Hoo's restaurant reopened but still no one came in to eat. Flora found Chris's clue but did not tell anyone and did not share to anyone not even Turtle what it said. Four people and a jogger stared at the Westing house that has no smoke coming from the chimney since Halloween. Sandy is telling some ideas of how Mr. Westing got murdered. Otis said that none of us could've been the murders and Theo could not agree. Then, Theo asked if anyone left Sunset Towers before Turtle aand Doug and Sandy said Otis and Mrs. Crow. Turtle asked Sandy to tell another story and he did it was about a man who died laughing. Jake went to the Chinese restaurant because it seemed empty with everyone at the coffee shop. Grace came over to talk to him. When she got over she asked Jake for her opinion about a campaign. She asked if Mr. Hoo should change his restaurant name to Hoo's on First and Mr. Hoo didn't like that name because people might think that it's on first street or on the first floor where the coffee shop is. But, Grace thinks it's a dandy name. Sandy and J.J. were talking about Westing and his family. They talked about his daughter, Violet Westing. Violet looked like Angela Flora said and Theo looks like his father. Violet really wanted to marry him. Sandy says that Violet killed herself rather than marring a guy she didn't want to marry.
Chapter 16 The Third Bomb
In chapter 16 Angela was in the middle of her bridal shower. Apparently Grace is using all westing products, westing cups, plates, and even napkins. Angela didn't know some of the people that were there because her college friends weren't into that type of stuff and the rest of the people are her mother's friends. It was time to open gifts. The first gift Angela opened was a asparagus cooker. Her second gift was an egg poacher. The third gift was another asparagus cooker. Then, all of a sudden BOOM! That was the sound of a bomb. After the bomb grace asked if anyone was hurt and no one was except for Angela. There was blood dripping from her cheek. The police came and said that the bomb was more like a childish prank. But, another policeman said it was just a few fireworks triggered by a squat striped candle set in a tall open jar. Then, he said something about air-holes and if she didn't lift the box up to her face then her cheek wouldn't be bleeding. So Grace suspected that it was a time bomb and may be right.
Chapter 17 Some Solutions
In chapter 17 Turtle was watching the stock market and sadly for her it fell six points. The bomb squad was called in several times to examine. There was a sealed vacuum cleaner bag full of dust that Mrs. Crow had behind the incinerator door. Another one was a box delivered to Grace what was in it was her favorite chocolates, bonbons, that was from Jake and a note that says Loves and Kisses Jake. The next day Grace got a bigger box that was from Jake with a bunch of roses and a note saying For no reason at all, just love Jake. Turtle ran to her partner and shouted Mrs. BAUM-bach Mrs. BAUM-bach which someone thought she was saying boom. Madame Sun and Mr. Hoo agreed to sit down with there only costumer and help them with thir clues and won't take the share of the money if they win. Grace laided out her clues that said FRUITED PURPLE WAVES FOR SEA. So Mr. Hoo helped her and suggested that he swtich purple and fruited to make purple fruited which more sense to him because of plums and grapes. But, Grace liked it the way it was because it said purple waves before but then she came up with something the guy's last name was Plum she remembered. Mr. Hoo tore fruitd into fruit and ed and said ED Plum. Sandy has a notebook that has imformation in it culled from reports the private detective delivered each day to Judge Ford's office. In it is birth certificates, death notes, marriage licenses, drivers' licenses,vehicular accident reports, criminal records, hospiral records, school records, etc. judge Ford said she'll start reading the Hoo's records. First was James Hoo and it said James Shin Hoo born: James Hoo in Chicago, age: 50, added Shin to his name when he went into the restaurant business because it sounded more chinese, first wife died of cancer five years ago, married again last year, and has a son: Douglas. Then, it was Madame Sun Lin Hoo, age: 28, born in China, immigrated from Hong Kong two years ago, and gossip: James Hoo married her for her 100 year old sauce and was the one who sued Sam Westing. Last was Doug and it said Doglas Hoo (called Doug), age: 18, high school track star, is competing in Saturday's track againist college milers, Westing connection: Hoo sued Sam Westing over the invention of the disposeable paper diaper, the case never went to court becasue Westing disappeared, setled with the company last year for 25,000 dollars, he thinks he was cheated, and latest invention: paper innersoles. Theo just finished his homework and it was past midnight and he heard something but couldn't tell what it was. He was studing solutions in chemisrty. Then, he figured something out with the word solutions because the will said the solution is simple. So he changed four and thee (those words were from his clues) and he arranged the rest out. His clue was N H(IS) FOR THEE (TO). Then, he realize that for of the letters spell something and that something was OTIS as in Otis Amber. He had the explosive and the bomber. Theo was going to tell Doug but he didn't take the elevator becasue he thought it made too much noise so he took the stairs. When we got to the floor he heard footsteps but it was Mrs. Crow. So when Mrs. Crow saw him she said that she heard wind and knew he would come so she took him into the maid's closet and was praying and Theo was kneeling on the ground praying and he knew that this must've been a dream.
Chapter 18 The Trakcers
In chapter 18 Turtle told Flora sell AMO, SEA, and MT and said when you have the money put it into WPP. Flora said she would. Turtle could tell that Flora loved her and she said that she likes it when she calls her Alice. She said that she shouldn't call Mrs. Baumbach anymore maybe Mrs. Baba and then Flora said hwo about Baba. Then Flora brought up her daughter and Turtle asked if she was smart and Flora said no. Then, she asked if she cooked, sewed, or do any of those dumb things and Flora said no. Meanwhile, Sandy was reading on about the imformation about the heirs. He was now on Flora. It said, Flora Baumbach, maiden name: Flora Miller, age: 60, dressmaker, husband left her years ago, sends no money, she had a daughter, Rosalie, a Monogoloidchild, sold her bridal shop last year after Rosalie died of pneumonia, age 19, spends most of her time at the stockbrokers, and westing connection: made wedding gown for Violet Westing, which she never got to wear. Theo was still haunted by his dream lastnight. He saw Doug running as usual and told him that he figured out the clues. When he told Doug he asked what did he want to do and Theo said follow Otis Amber. Flora saw the stockmarket and there was a lot of money. After Doug's classes he didn't train but still ran while following Otis. Meanwhile, Sandy read more from the notebook about the heirs. He went on to Otis Amber and it said, Otis Joseph Amber, age: 62, delivery boy, fourth grade drop out,IQ: 50, lives in the basement of Green's Grocery, a bachelor, no living relatives, and westing connection: delivered letters from E.J. Plum, Attorney, both times. Then, Sandy moved on to Dr. Deere and it read, D. Denton Deere, age 25, graduate of UW Medical School, first year intern for plastic surgery, parents live in Racine (not heirs), and westing connection: engaged to Angela Wexler, who looks like Sam Westing's daughter, Violet, who was also engaged to be married, but to a politican not an intern. Sandy went to Sydelle and here's what it said, Sydelle Pulaski, age: 50, education: high school, one yar secretarial school, Secretary to the President of Schultz Sausages, is taking her first vacation in25 years, lived with widowed mother and two auntsuntil she moved in Sunset Towers, walked with a crutch even before she broke her ankle in the second bombing, now needs two crutches, and westing connection: ? Sandy noticed that they didn't have any medical reports because the nurse at Schultz Sausages said that she fine before she went on vacation. The Plastic Surgeon said that Angela might have to have plastic surgery. But, Angela doesn't want it. Dr. Deere wuldn't let Turtle in because it said no vistors but Turtle said that she was a sister but still wasn't allowed in. Turtle had time for a question and she asked Angela what did she change her postition to and Angela said that she changed it to person instead of none. AMO, SEA, and MT and said when you have the money put it into WPP. The Plastic Surgeon said that Angela might have to have plastic surgery. But, Angela doesn't want it. Turtle wanted to come in but Dr. Deere wouldn't let her. Turtle had time for a question and she asked Angela what did she change her postition to and Angela said that she changed it to person instead of none. Sydelle said that she changed her's to victim. ED Plum entered the room and said hi to Angela and Grace walked in and saw him standing over Angela's body. Dr. Deere wants to ask Chris to get his pj's and toothbrush becasue he was going to stay over night at the hospital becasue dr. Deere wants to help Chris with his speaking by doing some tests. Dr. Deere says that there's no operations and he got his parents permission. But, Chris is having second thoughts because he thinks that Dr. Deere might kidnap him.
Chapter 19 Odd Relatives
In chapter 19 Turtle had to go to the nurse because she has a toothache so to forget the pain she listens to music or the stock market. Otis told Mrs. Crow who he thinks the bomber is. He said that he thinks it's James Hoo because he wanted the coffee shop out of business and it went out of business. So he bombed his own shop so nobody would suspect a thing. Plus Otis said that he catered the bridal shower that was for Angela and that's where the third bomb happened. Meanwhile, Judge Ford and Sandy were looking at more records. The record they were on was Mrs. Crow and it said Bethe Erica Crow, age: 57, mother died at childbirth, raised by father (deceased), education: one year of high school, married at 16, divorced at 40, ex-husbands name: Windy Windkloppel, hospital records: problems related to chronic alcoholism, police record: 3 arrests for vagrancy, gave up drinking when she took up religion, started the good salvation soup kitchen on skid row, works as cleaning woman in Sunset Towers, lives in maid's apartment on the fourth floor, and westing connection: ? Mrs. Crow went in the Chinese restaurant still thinking that Mr. hoo is the bomber. So when she went in Mr. Hoo brought something for her because her feet were hurting and he brought out these things for your feet and they wroked so now Mrs. Crow doesn't think that Mr. hoo is the bomber. In In the hospital Chris went to Angela because Theo put a love letter in his bathrobe thinking that it was Angela's bathrobe, so he had to deliver the letter. When Chris dlivered the letter he said it was from Theo then, Chris said mountain and then from Turtle. Angela realized that the letter was not from Theo it was from Turtle. The letter said, Your love has 2, here are 2 for you Take her away from this sin and hate NOW! Before it is too late and there were 2 more little clues. The clues were WITH MAJESTIES. Then, Angela realized that Mrs. Crow and Otis's clues aren't king and queen there "with thy beautiful majesties" those were the 2 extra clues. Judge Ford and Sandy were still the imformation about the heirs and they're on the Wexlers. First was Jake and it said, Jake Wexler, age: 45, podiatrist, graduated from Marquette, married 22 years, has two daughters. Now Grace and it said, Grace Windsor Wexler, born Gracie Windkloppel, age: 42, married to Jake Wexler, claims to be an inventor decorator, spends most of her time in the Chinese restaurant or the beauty parlor, she and Jake have 2 daughters. Now Angela and it saids, Angela Wexler, age: 20, engaged to marry D. Denton Deere, one year college, victim of third bombing, and embroiders a lot. Last Turtle and it saids, Turtle Wexler, real name: Tabitha-Ruth Wexler, age: 13, junior high school student, plays stock market, smart kid, but kicks people in the shin, Flora Baumbach calls her Alice. After reading the Wexler's Sandy tells Judge Ford that Jake's a bookie. Judge Ford realizes that Grace's maiden name isn't Windsor it's Windkloppel. They find that Mrs. Crow's ex-husband is Windy Windkloppel. Then they read a letter from a long time ago and it says Sybil Pulaski. Judge Ford notices that it's Sybil not Sydelle so that meant that Sam Westing wanted Mrs. Crow's childhood friend to be a heir.
Chapter 20 Confession
In chapter 20 Doug was still following Otis for quite a while. Later on in the book Judge Ford asked Theo some questions. She him about the relationship with Violet Westing. So Theo told her the story about them and how they were childhood sweethearts and he said that they were planning on getting married but Violet's mother, Mrs. Westing, didn't want her to marry Theo she wanted Violet to marry someone important. But, Sam Westing also wanted Violet to be involved with his buniess (he worked at the paper company and hoped that Violet would take over the business). But, Violet wanted to be a teacher. Then, Theo was talking about how Violet's mother wanted her to marry a politican so she can live in the white house and be the first lady and Violet couldn't find a way around it. Later Sandy was on the Theodorakis. He was on Theo and it said, Theo Theodorakis, age: 17, high school senior, works in the family coffee shop, wants to a writer, seems lonely; can't find anyone to play chess with. Then he went to Chris and it said, Christos Theodorakis, age: 15, younger brother of Theo, confined to wheelchair; disease struck about 4 years ago, knows a lot about birds, westing connection: father was childhood sweetheart of Sam Westing's daughter, Mrsa. Westing broke up the affair, she wanted daughter to marry somebody else, but Violet Westing killed her herself before the wedding. Sandy and Judge Ford were talking about the Theodorakis's and then moved on to Westing's family. They were talking about how they might have to many heirs and think that Sam westing is doing this game so someone can be punished or he punish that perosn for his daughter's death.
Chapter 21 The Fourth Bomb
In chapter 21 Theo needed to borrow Turtle's bike because he has to follow Otis and he's not a runner like Doug. Turtle let Theo use her bike because he said or else and she thought or else is police, bomber, or Angela. Turtle called Angela's room in the hospital but she didn't answer. She knows that Angela was the one to set the fireworks because she wanted to get caught. Judge Ford and Sandy weren't done yet with the heirs. Sandy was on himself and it said, Alexander McSouthers, called Sandy, age: 65, born:Edinburgh, Scotland, immigrated to Wisconsin at the age of 3, education: eight grade, jobs: mill worker, union organizer, prizefighter, and doorman, married, six children, two grandchildren, westing connection: worked in Westing Paper plant for 20 years, fired by Sam Westing himself for trying to organize the workers, no pension. So now Sandy is on Judge Ford but, he was doing it while reading the information. It said, Josie-Jo Ford, age: 42, education: Columbia; law degree, Havard, jobs: assistant district attorney, judge: family court, state supreme court, appellate division, never married, no children, westing connection: mother was a servant in the Westing household, father worked for the railroad and was the gardener on off days. Sandy was surprised that she lived in the westing house but, she barely saw Mrs. Westing and Violet was a few years younger than her and was not allowed to play with her. Judge Ford played chess with Sam Westing but, she said that he would always insult her and beat her. Judge Ford said that Sam Westing was the one who payed for her education. She said to Sandy to change her westing connection to education financed by Sam Westing, debt never repaid. Meanwhile, Theo was mad on the elevator because Skid Row was snooping. When he was coming off the elevator he heard BOOM BOOM BOOM and he saw a white streak that went through the looby and out the door. Theo noticed that the person who did those bombs one of the rockets went through the elevator that lead off to the third floor and then BOOM! When the bomb squad got there someone was huddled and crying and it might've been Turtle. Bad news was that it was Turtle. Her braid got singed and probably injured badly more than Angela. Turtle was the one who set those bombs off to divert suspicion from the real bomber. Some people think that she's the ral bomber adn some people don't. But Judge Ford knows that Turtle didn't do it becasue she was talking to her about why she did it and that she'll never do it again. Sandy was walking toward Turtle becaue he was very disappionted in her because he thinks that she hurted her own sister and so does many people. Sydelle and Angela were working and reading the clues. The clues said, GRAINS SPACIOUS GRACE GOOD HOO WITH BEAUTIFUL MAJESTIES FROM THY PURPLE WAVES ON (NO) MOUTAIN. Sydelle said read them again and Angela did. Someone was at the door and slipped a note underneath the door and then note said, My darling Angela: I guess the sign on the door means I should stay away, too. I understand. We both need time to think things over. I'll wait. I love you-Denton. There was one more thing it said, P.S. You have another admirer. Chris wants to give you and Ms. Pulaski one of our clues. (Flora has seen it ,too.) The word is plain. When Sydelle head she asked Angela to read the clues again and she did and it said, GOOD HOOD FROM SPACIOUS PLAIN GRAINS ON WITH BEAUTIFUL WAVES GRACE THY PURPLE MOUNTAIN MAJESTIE. After she read them Sydelle thinks that she has the right answer but they don't know for sure then, she threw her crutches up in the air to close to the bed though.
Chapter 22 Losers, Winners
Since some peole think that Turtle was the bomber or the murder she has to write a note and put it on the elevator. The note said, I, Turtle Wexler, confess to those four bombs. I'm sorry, it was a dumb thing to do and won't do it again. But! I am not the burglar adn I never murdered anybody, ever. Your friend, Turtle. Then it says, P.S. To make up for scaring you, I will treat everybody here toa n exquisite Chinese cuisine dinner when I win the inheritance. Grace doesn't want to go to the track meet becasue she's ashamed of having Turtle the one who did four bombs and almost killed her sister. When Grace said the name Turtle Jake didn't want to hear that name. Then Jake said 'what ever happened to that fun-loving lady I married, Gracie Windkloppel." Grace didn't want anyone to hear that awful name she used to have. Jake and Grace were arguing in the elevator then, when they off the elevator Grace may have admitted that she might not be a nice person and that people are right that she is mean. Grace was crying on Jake's shoulder because now she's admitting that she's not a nice person. Turtle and Angela were wondering why their mother is crying but, Jake didn't want to talk to Turtle and he doesn't want to explain why to Angela. Angela thought about how her parents didn't ask any questions about her and that's when she realized that she was all alone and alone is what she wanted. For once she was happy without Dr. Deere or anything her mother would do for her. She said that they were going to have a perfect night. But, not really because the will said to look for a name not a song. Sydelle was singing their clues, O beautiful for spacious skies and for purple waves for grain. Then, Angela corrected her because it wasn't purple it was amber and they realized that it must've been Otis Amber is what they thought. Chris had to wait in Judge Ford's apartment because Dr. Deere is busy. At the track meet Doug came in first he was posing when he was done and told the reporters that he owed it all to his dad. Apparently Barney Northrup showed up and Sandy wanted Judge Ford to talk to him but, Judge Ford said that she never saw him again after she rented her apartment. Sandy and Judge Ford were talking in private. Judge Ford said that something's been bothering her and that something is that Otis Amber doesn't live in the grocer's basement and isn't as dumb as people think he is. She says that Otis is a snoop and she is saying that she doesn't think Otis is who he says to be. Mrs. Crow was talking to Otis and she thinks somebody is in trouble and she thinks it's her that's going to be in trouble.
Chapter 23 Strange Answers
In chapter 23 Flora Baumbach had to get 5 inches of Turtle's hair cut off and doesn't like it because Flora says that Turtle's adorable but, Turtle wants to look mean. Almost everyone said something nice or good about Turtle's hair. There was a bigger shock it was Judge Ford who was dressed like a princess almost. Grace and Jake Wexler came late to a meeting everyone had to go to. Each person had to sit with their partner at the numbered table they were assigned. On the table there is an envelope. The heirs got another check for ten thousand dollars. They have to find an answer with their clues and ED Plum goes around writing down their answers. Some of the heirs changed their position. First up it was Madame Sun (cook) and Jake Wexler (bookie) their answer was boom because that's what Madame Sun said. Now it was Flora Baumbach (dressmaker) and Turtle Wexler (financier) and their answer was $11,587.50 because that's what they increased to their capital. Christos Theodorakis (ornithologist, which means bird watcher) and Denton Deere (intern) were up and their answer was Mr. Westing was a good man. J.J. Ford (judge) and Alexander McSouthers (fired) were next and they said that they didn't have an answer. So ED Plum moved on to the pair which was Gracie Windkloppel Wexler (restaurateur) and James Hoo (inventor) and their answer was ED Plum. Next was Berthe Erica Crow (mother) and Otis Amber (deliverer) and Crow couldn't stop saying the word mother because she didn't know if she wrote mother or not so ED Plum just toke mother as their answer. Now it was Douglas Hoo (champ) and Theo Theodorakis (writer) and they didn't have an answer either. Last was Angela Wexler (person better than none) and Sydelle Pulaski (victim) and their answer was Otis Amber. There was a break and they needed Crow to come into the kitchen to get the drinks and Crow remembered that something bad will happen to her so she is very worried. ED Plum was still working on which answer is right. He asked them to go to the library and don't pass go.
Chapter 24 Wrong All Wrong
In chapter 24 the heirs were still walking and didn't know where they were or if they didn't pass go but they finally got there. Partners sat by partners and ED Plum was all done checking who has the right answer. He told them that none of them were right and they were really shocked. So since they were all wrong they had to work alone and not with anyone so that meant it's only man for himself. After that message they were all stuck in the library with the killer who eve it is. A few people were panicking and a few were bored. Then, Theo suggested that they share the money and their clues and everyone agreed. Sydelle still didn't know how the her song was wrong. A few people had the word Amber in their clues and Otis said the all of the clues were wrong so he is not in anyone's clues he says. The heirs were still trying to figure out their clues without the help of their use to be partner. Then Sandy said that they should just give their clues to Sydelle so she can arrange them. Then Sydelle somehow found out that Sandy McSouthers is Sam Westing. When Sydelle has figured out the clues she made this, O BEAUTIFUL FOR SPACIOUS SKIES FOR AM WAVES OF GRAIN FOR PURPLE MOUTAIN MAJESTIES ABOVE FRUTIED PLAIN AMERICA AM GOD OF SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE AND N THY GOOD WITH BROHTERHOOD FROM SEA TO SHING SEA. Sydelle realized the missing words are ber, the, erica, and crow. Sydelle figured it out that it spelled Berthe Erica Crow. Judge Ford was talking about how Crow couldn't have done it only because her name was in a song then Snady was being choked and was running out of air, his face was red, and fell down. Luckily Theo was knocking on the door for ED Plum and he came in with Doctor Sikes and a stranger. After a few minutes Dr. Sikes said that he's dead. The stranger read another part of the will and it said his full name which was Sam Windy Windkloppel. Grace asked if it said the name Windkloppel and yes it did. Crow missed Sandy because he was her friend. Judge said that he died after he drank a glass of water that Crow filled and now everyone thinks that Crow did it and Crow was right that something bad was going to happen to her. Crow won the money and said that she is giving some to her, Otis Amber, and the rest to Angela.
Chapter 25 Westing's Wake
In chapter 25 Crow got arrested and Snady was dead and some people were wondering what just happen a minute ago in Judge Ford's living room. Angela said that "Crow only got arrested because Sandy died by drinking a glass of water that was filled by Crow". Crow must've been innocent. Dr. Deere said that Turtle kicked him before he died because he had a big bruise on his leg and said that Turtle did it. Turtle thinks that's everyone's lying. Theo said's that he used to play chess with Sandy and Judge Ford was surprised that he played because she thought that he didn't know how to play and Theo said that Doug watched Sandy make his moves. Then, Judge Ford and Theo were talking about how Sandy would've lost because he took his queen and how he lost few times that way. Turtle was having her own thoughts about how Theo thinks that he's smart, how she knew that Sandy never did play chess, and that she didn't kick Sandy ever, it was Barney Northrup that she kicked. Sandy would always wink at Turtle and his last words to her were "cheer up my friend the games not over yet and I hope that you win". Turtle kept on saying wink and then something must've popped in her head because she asked for the will from Angela and the will said, FIRST. I RETURN TO LIVE AMONG MY ENEMIES. I CAME HOME TO SEEK MY HEIR, AWARE THAT IN DOING SO I FACED DEATH. AND SO I DID. When Turtle was done reading that part she kept on repeating "to seek my heir". Then, she kept on reading and it said, TODAY I HAVE GATHERED MY NEAREST AND DEAREST, MY SIXTEEN NIECES AND NEPHEWS (SIT DOWN GRACE WINDSOR WEXLR!) TO VEIW THE BODY OF YOUR UNCLE SAM FOR THE LAST TIME. TOMRROW ITS ASHES WILL BE SCATTERED TO THE FOUR WINDS. Turtle shouted Windkloppel and Grace knew right then that she's related to Sam Westing. Judge Ford knew that Crow married someone and changed the name from Windkloppel to Westing. Then, Judge Ford came up with something because after Violet drowned the night before her wedding there were rumors that she killed herself instead of marrying the guy that she didn't want to marry. So why is it that Sam Westing blamed his wife which means Crow is arrested and that part makes no sense. Craziest part is that Crow was Sam's ex-wife and Chris thought of something very smart adn it was Sam might've wanted his enemies to forgive him. Turtle kept reading and the will said, SECOND. I, SAMUEL W. WESTING, HEREBY SWER THAT I DID NOT DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES. MY LIFE WAS TAKEN FROM ME-BY ONE OF YOU! THE POLICE AE HELPLESS. THE CULPRIT IS FAR TOO SUNNING TO BE APPREHENDED FOR THIS DASTARDLY DEED. When Turtle was done she asked what does dastardly me and Jake said cowardly and Flora was surprised by it. Turtle was still reading the will and it said, I, ALONE, KNOW THE NAME. NOW IT IS UP TO YOU. CAST OUT THE SINER, LET THE GUILTY RISE AND CONFESS. THIRD. WHO AMONG YOU IS WORTHY TO BE THE WESTING HEIR? HELP ME. MY SOULD SHALL ROAM RESTLESSLY UNTIL THAT ONE IS FOUND. Then, after that Otis said that Crow was the one who has been sacrificed and then Judge Ford remember what Theo said something bout sacrificing his queen and then, Judge Ford realized that Westing had sacrificed his queen which was Crow, so that he'd distract the other players from the real game. The last part of the will was Happy Fourth of July and Dr. Deere said that it was November 15 and Otis said that it was Crow's birthday. Then, turtle remembered that Sandy bought his wife a three hour candle and that's when Turtle realized that the game was still on because Sam Westing came back to his heir and that's what it means about TO SEEK HIS HEIR.
Chapter 26 Turtle's Trial
In chapter 26 Turtle seemed like she was running this game because she's telling people what's happening and for sure she was running the game. Turtle is being the judge while she's having people coming up and telling her what they saw or heard. Chris was up and he saw a someone with a limp go in the Westing house and it was Dr. Sikes. Then, in the middle of Turtle's judge act Otis held up a gun. He said that he was not a dumb delivery boy, he was in disguise. But, TUrtle said's that she's dealing with a practice witness meaning that he's not doing this for real so that kind of got me a little confused. Otis was speaking to Turtle (judge) about how he was supposed to investigate Crow for Barney Northrup. He said that he was the second one on the list after Joe Aaron. Barney Northrup wanted Otis to investigate six people and those six people were Judge Ford, George Thoedorakis, James Hoo, Gracie Windkloppel, Flora Baumbach, and Sybil Pulaski. But, he got mixed up with Sydelle's name and thought it was Sybil instead of Sydelle. So Barney Northrup wasn't expecting Otis to investigate Dr. Deere, Crow, or Sandy but, Dr. Deere came up on the Wexlers. Otis was hired by Judge Ford to find information and investigate on the sixteen heirs and he did that except Judge Ford and her partner. Turtle had one more question for Otis and it was about the story she told her about an Oriental rug. Then, Grace shouted that she saw it and she explained and said the doorman was found dead on the Oriental rug. Turtle told everyone that Otis dared her to go and she did and she followed Dr. Sikes. Dr. Deere is now up. Dr. Deere seemed to be annoyed with Turtle because she's asking him stupid questions it seems like to him. Turtle now asked Sydelle to come up. Sydelle was talking bout how her shorthand notes of the will was very good and then she left out a word and Turtle was asking her what was and Sydelle wouldn't spill but, she got excused. Turtle didn't get what Mr. Westing meant by "it's not what you have, it's what you don't have that counts" so she kept on reading the will and it said, FOURTH. HIAL TO THE, OH LAND OF OPPORTUNITY! YOU HAVEMADE ME, THE SON OF POOR IMMIGRANTS, RICH, POWERFUL, AND RESPECTED. SO TAKE STOCK IN AMERICA, MY HEIRS, AND SING IN PRAISE OF THIS GENEROUS LAND. YOU, TOO, MAY STRIKE IT RICH WHO DARES PLAY THE WESTING GAME. FIFTH. SIT DOWN, YOUR HONOR, AND READ THE LETTER THIS BRILLIANT YOUNG ATTORNEY WILL NOW HAND OVER TO YOU. Turtle asked for the letter from Judge Ford. When Turtle received the letter there was only a receipt and Judge Ford said that the real letter got replaced. Madame Hoo let some things down from her scarf and they were her father's railroad watch, a pearl necklace, cuff links, a pin, and a set of earrings. Then, Flora saw the pearl necklace and said it was her's. Turtle went on about his life and then said something that was very interesting to me that he was never seen after the car crash and that he would act in Fourth of July pageants that would fool everyone with his great disguises. Then, Turtle said one of his disguises which was a baggy uniform, a chipped tooth, and some broken eye glasses. Turtle was telling what she saw before Sandy got killed and she said that she saw Sandy as Sam Westing writing down the last part of the will after everyone said their answers and Turtle said that there was no murder and that Sandy only said that there was a murder so that it would get the people off track. So Turtle explained how it happened. She says that Sam Westing's life was taken by him once he became Sandy MSouthers and how did Sandy die you might ask well Sandy ran out of medicine. Now Barney Northrup well it's Turtle's kicking that made her knew because she kicked Bareny so much and it probably showed up on Sandy. After a bit of thinking Turtle read some more of the will that said, THE ESTATE IS AT CROSSROADS. THE HEIR WHO WINS THE WINDFALL WILL BE THE ONE WHO FINDS THE FOURTH. After Turtle read it she knew what Sydele meant when she didn't hear the last word it was fourth because Sam must've had 4 names. SIXTH. BEFORE YOU PROCEED TO THE GAME ROOM THERE WILL BE ONE MINUTE OF SILEN PRAYER FOR YOUR GOD OF UNCLE SAM. That's what Turtle read of the will and then Crow came in.
Chapter 26 A Happy Fourth
In chapter 26 when Crow came in Otis was the first one to go up to her and say hello. Apparently the sheriff wanted to arrest Ed Plumming instead of Crow. CCrow said that Sandy died because of a heart attack and the same happened for Sam Westing. Theo said that Turtle was right and Ed Plumming had no idea what in the world they were tlaking about. Then Judge Ford remembered that there was more to the will. So Turtle read more of the will and it said, SEVENTEENTH GOOD BYE, MY HEIRS. THANKS FOR THE FUN AND GAMES. I CAN REST IN PEACE KNOWING I WAS LOVED AS YOUR JOLLY DOORMAN. EIGHTEENTH I, SAMUEL W. WESTING, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS SANDY MCSOUTHERS AND OTHERS, DO HEREBY GIVE AND BEQUEATH ALL THE PROPERTY ADN POSSESSIONS IN MY NAME AS FOLOW: TO ALL OF YOU, IN EQUAL SHARE, THE DEEDD TO SUNSET TOWERS; AND TO MY FORMER WIFE, BERTHE ERICA CROW, THE TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECK FORFEITED BY TABLE ONE, ABD TWO TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECKS ENDORSED BY J.J. FORD AND ALEXANDER MCSOUTHERS. NINETEENTH THE SUN HAS SET ON YOUR UNCLE SAM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CROW. AND TO ALL OF MY HEIRS, A VER HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY. No one won the two hundred million dollars sadly. Now everyone was talking bad about Sam Westing because no one won the money. Then, Flora said to everyone why were they being mean if they have ten thousand to start with and an apartment to live in. Turtle interrupted Flora because fireworks were going on. Next morning Turtle was the one to set out and find the prize and remembered that Sam Westing/Sandy McSouthers/Bareny Northrup portrayed another person and she figured out the they had directions in their names (north, south, and west). Turtle found east it was Julian R. Eastman and told him that she won.
Chapter 28 And Then. . .
In chapter 28 Julian said that Turtle wouldn't want to be late for the wedding. It's Crow's wedding and the bridesmaids are in pink and yellow, the wedding is in Shin Hoo's restaurant, and Mr. Hoo is the best man. Meanwhile, Judge Ford was in her room thinking about how she might never figure the Westing puzzle. Then, Chris came in to visit her which was very nice and he asked her to come see him do his tutoring. Back at the party Madame Hoo felt comfortable in Sunset Towers because she has friends, no cooking, and no more dresses the squeeze her thighs. Grace was proud of Jake and her daughters. Hoo's on first was very successful. Since athletes went there everyone went there because people eat where athletes eat. Grace was becoming nicer and she seems to like Turtle more now. Angela was going to college but lived at home so she can save for medical school. Angela was not engaged to Dr. Deere which I think is a good thing. Angela was busy with things like helping out at the soup kitchen on Sunday's along with Otis and Crow. Everyone was doing fine and better.
Chapter 29 Five Years Past.
In chapter 29 five years have pasted and Doug was the new delivery boy instead of Otis apparently. Mr. Hoo was happy for once probably because his business was amazing. Theo graduated journalism school and was club reporter. Madame Hoo has gotten better at English because she said a nice full sentence in English to Jake. Dr. Deere never got married and is now a neurologist. Angela was almost done with medical school, she was on her third year. Sydelle came in with another crutch because she sprained her knee doing the tango. She was also engaged to Conrad Schultz. Chris introduced a friend from junior year at college and his talking got cleared because they found a medication to keep his limbs steady and his speaking well controlled. Judge Ford was doing good she was a judge on the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Grace owned five restaurants, Hoo's On First, Hoo's On Second, Hoo's On Third, Hoo's On Fourth, and Hoo's On Fifth. Theo called Turtle attractive because he didn't recognize her. Turtle is on her second year of college at the age of eighteen and she is now being called T.R. Wexler and she finally beat the master at chess which was Sam Westing.
Chapter 30 The End?
In chapter 30 T.R. Wexler has a Master's Degree in Business Administration, an advanced degree in corporate law, and has served two years as legal counsel to the Westing Paper Products Corporation. Sandy/Sam Wsting and T.R. were talking about T.R. was his lawyer, Judge Ford has been appointed to the United States Supreme Court, and how Judge Ford never beat him at chess. T.R. said that Otis and Crow died two years ago. Sydelle and her new husband, Conrad Schultz, moved to Hawaii. T.R. was talking about how everyone's been doing. Angela is an orthopedic surgeon and is married to Denton Deere and has a daughter named Alice. Flora doesn't call Turtle Alice anymore, she calls her T.R. Flora is done with dress making and moved in with T.R. Chris and Shirley (who is his wife) teach ornithology and are both professors. Doug won two gold medals in a row and is a sports announcer on television. Mr. Hoo is dead as well. Grace is still in the restaurant business with ten restaurants and T.R. said that Hoo's on Nineth is quite successful and Hoo's on Tenth well T.R. wants her to give up on that one. Theo and T.R. got married and Theo wrote his first novel which sold six copies. They are expecting children. Then, Sandy asked if Angela had a daughter named Alice which she did and asked if she's as pretty as her mother and T.R. said not quite. Julian R. Eastman was dead along with Samuel W. Westing, Barney Northrup, and Sandy McSouthers. T.R. was actually sad on the inside and no one knew. Things were very well. Angela would bring her daughter, Alice, to the Wexler-Theodorakis mansion every Saturday. T.R. was going to teach Alice how to beat the her at chess.
