The most important people in this story:

It begins when Nancy met Isobel and Henry in Eastbourne in a hotel, and they became in a split second friends. On Christmas Day, Henry asked Nancy to marry him. Nancy of course said yes, because she was lonely. When Henry says to Nancy that he’s going to London for his work, Nancy believed him. But, Henry didn’t going to London for his work, but for medicines (morphine). At the moment, Nancy was sick, she had an flu. When Isobel arrived in Nancy’s room, she gave her a glass of juice, but in the juice was morphine mixed! Nancy didn’t know that, and she felt asleep. When Nancy woke up, she called for help…And Terry Mason was there at the moment, and he saved Nancy out of the house. Henry and Isobel were getting arrested for owning a lot of morphine, murdering a woman (Henry’s ex-woman), and trying to murder a woman. Nancy lived long and happy. THE END!
