They were ordered to kill him and the grunt, I’m sure they don’t know they’re shooting their own foot if they were to succeed. From their backstory the men that had any brains died in the flood, the survivors were the ones that ran away rather than try to rescue the leaders.
The butler is the brains? Of course, we knew that already.
And he’s also the culprit of whatever murder or pan-slapping that happened in Lower Paris. That’s what I learned as kid watching crime-solving series: the culprit is always the butler!
OK, yeah, that’s really sweet. Sadly not enough to shame the men for what they’re about to do them, though.
Scorpinac, as I’m sure you know, a sense shame is alien to sociopaths.
They do make a very sweet and picturesque group, all worn out from their adventures! Where’s the artiste? He’s missing out on a sketchable moment!
M, that’s a good point. But it’s too late now!
They’re just figuring this out? They’re slow.
I bet you they don’t even have someone watching the butler. Any part of a nickle.
Is “Any part of a nickle” a colloquial phrase? Google doesn’t seem to know… and neither do I.
A colleague of mine used to say that. I like it.

Can blame them for running away … at least you can’t blame the prison laborers.

“Murder By Death” 1976. I highly recommend.
Of course the Butler is the brain.
It was always the Butler who did it.
I like to think of Godfrey as the adult in the room.
