Answers
Answer:
The play, ‘A Basketful of Sea Trout’ is a mystery play. It has four visible characters. Lord Findhorn, Brodie, Colonel Allardyce and Jean Lomond. We have characters like Nellie Salter, Hector Lomond, Inspector Souter who we only know through other characters they are not visible on the stage.
Brodie and the Judge Findhorn have conversation and discussion about the mysterious murder of Nellie Salter. There was no clear evidence as to who was involved in the murder. Mrs Lomond’s son, a lover of Nellie Salter was arrested for interrogation. But he was later acquitted on not being found guilty by the court. Mrs Lomond was also suspected but she evaded the issue by telling the court that she was on the beach all through the day and had no information about the moments of Nellie Salter on that day.
During this discussion of Brodie and Findhorn, Mrs Lomond had suddenly entered the room and thanked the judge for acquitting her son Hector. She had come to the judge’s lodge a pitch-dark night with a basketful of sea Trout as a gift for the favour from the judge. She had thought that the judge had favoured her by releasing her son. During her conversation with the two people she gave a detailed description of Nellie’s movements before her murder which was absolutely unexpected of her as in the court, she had outrightly denied having any information about Nellie’s movements on the day of her murder. She unveiled such facts about Nellie’s movements which were quite unknown to anyone else.
