30. When Maggie and Brenda toured the mansion, what did they find in the attic?
From Quiz "I Still Dream About You" by Fannie Flagg
Answer:
A human skeleton in an old trunk
Maggie and Brenda found the trunks in a corner. They still had clear address labels dated June 2, 1946 and read: "Deliver To: Mr. Edward Crocker". Brenda decided to open them. In one, Maggie found ladies' evening gowns, and Brenda found men's evening wear in the other. While going through the clothing, Brenda suddenly yelled, "Woooo!" and jumped back. Maggie asked her what was wrong, but Brenda just pointed at the trunk. Maggie came to look, and saw, hanging on a hanger, a skeleton dressed in a formal Scottish kilt, a plaid sash and a black velvet jacket. They ran out of the attic, ending up in the living room. While they were discussing what to do, Maggie noticed an oil portrait of Edward Crocker hanging above the fireplace. They became even more frightened when they noticed that Edward was wearing the exact same clothing in the portrait! They began to think that maybe Edward had been murdered and his body hidden in the trunk!
