Drood FIANALY Disappears!!! (I'd say its a spoiler, but the book is a dissaperaence mystery)
So, first let me say that tMoED is all of 272 pages. Drood disappears on page 162. IT TOOK SO LONG! (Yes, I do try to avoid all caps, but it took so long). Drood went on a walk down to the river on Cristmas Eve with Neville Landless, and Nevile Landless was the last person to see him--alive or dead. Neville walks eight miles out of town. I thisks that qualifies of excaping the scene of the crime! Then, a group of eight Cloisterhamians (???), including John Jasper and Mr. Crisparkel, I belive. NL thinks that they are theives and will not go with them, and the subsequently beat up NL. They bring him back to Cloisterham and then they blame the bood stains that they have created on him murdering Neville. Mayor Sapsesa orders the river to be dregged for any traces of Drood, which they find none. Then, Mr. Gregwerious, Rosa legal gaurdian comes to town , as his ward's fiancee is missing, and talks to Jasper. Jasper then faints when he tells him that Rosa and Edwin called off their engagement. I choose to interpret this as a sign of giult that he murdred Drood so Rosa would be upset and he will then try to get Rosa off the rebound. When Jasper comes to, he eats some food with Gregwerious (I'm not sure that's spelled right, but I don't have the book right in front of me). Greggy (as I will be calling Mr. Gregwerious) continualy descrtibes himself as an "Angular man" (the "a" is always capatalized). I haven't the slightest idea of what that means. The more than I think of it, Greggy does have motive for murder. He is the gaurdian of Rosa and it seems that he does not like her predestined husband (Drood).
