Dilandau3000 plays The Colonel's Bequest - Part 2 of 20


Time for more exploring...and dying.

All maps by Will Mallia.


The room to the right is a nursery converted into a guest room. The old woman sitting in a chair is Ethel Prune, Lillian's mother. She's obviously drinking. Talk to her, and she'll ask you where Lillian is. Ask her about the estate. She'll tell you that it's too far away from New Orleans, and she can't stand the isolation. Ask her about Henri, and you'll find out she has some sort of ill will against him for being cheap and isolating her from other people. Ask her about Lillian, and you'll get a "we've had our ups and downs" response. Ask about Jeeves (the butler). She's got her suspicions about Jeeves, not knowing what he's doing and all. Ask about Fifi, and you'll see she can't stand her, saying Fifi had better watch out.

Be sure to look at people twice. This will make it easier to obtain the full score.

Head back to the guest room and head to the left. The door in the back is the bathroom door, and there are two Greek statues on the pedestals on either side of the door. One is a cat, the other is a vase. Open the door, and you'll meet Lillian. She'll tell you she'll be done in a bit. Keep watching her freshen up. You'll notice that she puts on the perfume after washing her face. This detail will come in handy later. Wash your hands in the sink after she leaves.

If you take a shower in the bathroom, Laura will actually take a shower. Yes, you actually see her get naked. However, if you do this, somebody will murder Laura, and you will die. "Didn't Alfred teach you anything?!" is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock.

Ironically, you can use the toilet, but it doesn't show her sitting on the can. The game then cuts to the hallway outside and the door closes, and the game tells you "Well! Did you think this was Leisure Suit Larry?!"

Head out of the bathroom and return to the guest room. Lillian will be talking with her mother Ethel when Laura unintentionally interrupts them. Talk to Lillian a few times until she says "See ya around." Talk to Ethel about four times, then ask Lillian about the estate. You'll find out this was a plantation. Ask her about Henri, and she'll tell you they're really close. Ask about Ethel, and she won't say much. Ask about Jeeves, and she'll tell you she thinks he's having a fling with Fifi the Maid. Ask her about Fifi, and she says she doesn't know what Henri sees in her.

Go to the south and enter the room to the right. This is Rudy and Clarence's guest room. Look at the painting, and you'll notice that this one too has a strange, faraway look in the eyes of the subjects, just like the one in your guest room.

Sometimes, you'll see a chandelier in the southern part of the upper floor. It shakes when it's on the screen and it makes a shaking, wind chime-like noise when it does. It also swings around a little bit.
