My dear guests, I must protest my innocence in this matter. You know me, I'm always up to some mischief, but I wouldn't dream of stealing the deviled eggs. As a butler, I take my responsibilities very seriously, especially when it comes to food. I mean, what kind of butler would I be if I didn't have a deep appreciation for the culinary arts? I might have played a few pranks in the past, but I would never mess with the food. Besides, I've got my own secret stash of snacks hidden away for emergencies. I know how important it is to keep your strength up when you're on the job. So, I swear on my butler's uniform that I'm innocent in this case. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go check on the desserts. I wouldn't want them to disappear too!
Sincerely,
Morklemer the butler
My dear wife, I must admit that I did have a few of the deviled eggs. But let me assure you, I am not the culprit you're looking for. As the Duke of this estate, I have access to all the food I desire. I have no reason to steal the eggs when I can have as many as I want whenever I please. And while I do love a good deviled egg, I would never stoop to stealing them from a party. Besides the two or three that I took for a late night snack. Now, I understand that this is a mystery that needs to be solved, but I implore you to look beyond me and my indulgence in these eggs, my dear. I have nothing to gain by stealing food from my own party. Instead, I suggest you have the investigators focus on the two butlers, who have a history of being playful and naughty. I have no doubt that they are the ones behind this heinous act.
Dear Clementine,
Oh, my dear friend, you cannot even begin to imagine the trouble we're having here at the estate. You see, I had arranged for a lovely Easter party, with plenty of food and drinks for all my guests to enjoy. But then, just before the party was set to start, someone went and stole half the deviled eggs! Can you believe it? Deviled eggs are one of my absolute favorites, and I had made sure that there were plenty of them for everyone. But now, thanks to some mischievous soul, we're all left with empty platters and a sense of disappointment. I have no idea who could have done such a thing, but I suspect it may have been one of my two butlers. They can be quite the handful, you know, always playing pranks and causing trouble. But even still, I cannot imagine that they would stoop to stealing food from a party. It's simply not done. I have asked them both if they know anything about the missing eggs, but they both deny any involvement. Of course, I can’t tell the investigators that Morklemer the butler has an alibi as he was with me the whole time…Except for a few minutes when he went to the kitchen to get a vase for the flowers he brought me. But surely he couldn’t have done this to me. Could he?
I don't know what to do, my friend. I am so upset about this whole thing. It feels like such a violation of trust, you know? To have someone steal from your own party. I just hope that we can find out who is behind this and put a stop to it before anything else goes missing. Anyway, thank you for listening to my troubles. I hope that you're enjoying your own Easter festivities much more than I am right now.
The Duchess
Dear Diary, I must confess, I am guilty of stealing the deviled eggs. I couldn't resist the temptation of those delicious deviled eggs. You see, I have a weakness when it comes to food, especially when it's something as tasty as deviled eggs. I know it was naughty of me to steal them, especially being a butler and all, but you have to admit, it's a pretty funny prank, isn't it? I mean, who steals deviled eggs from an Easter party? It's not like I ran off with the Easter bunny or anything. I'm always up to some kind of mischief, and this time I got caught. But you know what they say, it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission, right? Anyway, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused, and I promise not to steal any more food. Unless it's something really good. Like dessert. Can I have some dessert now?
