I was wondering if anyone can help me. I need to know how the stories, “Sing a Song of Sixpence” and “The Crooked House” by Agatha Christie end. I’m doing a report on the stories she has written that involve nursery rhymes. These are the only ones I have not read do to the amount of time I have to finish. If you could get back to me as soon as possible, even if you do not have an answer for me, I would appreciate it.
Thank You
Candice
Why not just read only the endings of those two books then? 
Dang, must learn to type faster than Kat. 
Also, I will add that we generally don’t do people’s homework for them, Candace. Sorry.
Go down to the library, peek at the last few pages.
If a 4th gradercan read it you should too.
Hey, don’t pick on the child. I’m sure she had very important things to do so let me jump in with the finish to Crooked House.
Everyone is killed except Roy, the gardner, who was in love with the person everyone thought was the murder, Laura. But Laura herself is killed in a bazarre fashion. She was strangled by a pair of soiled nappies. This, of course, pointed right back to Roy since he had that personality disorder about his job. Still you want to believe it wasn’t he at all since he is such a sympathic character eacept for that one thing. Personally, I did not find his obsession with capturing and dissecting live animals that disturbing, but I know of other readers that have said that this is one of the most revolting parts of any Christie story with the possible exception of the cannibilizing part of Painted Posey, but I’m getting distracted.
Roy and Sherry, the red-headed girl who clearly loves Roy and we think is the landlady’s illigitimate daughter, try to prove Roy’s innocence by looking for the child who soiled the nappies. I won’t go into the specifics, but one child and two nurses are killed in the process of the two getting close to the solution which leads them and a mysterious follower, who it later turns out to be a Scotland Yard detective, to the women’s prison in Featherbed Downs.
An old warden tells Roy that in fact his mother, who at one time had been locked up there, before she becamae the famous music hall actress, Lotta Seeya, and had not one, but two children, a boy and a girl, not just the boy (him) and everyone thought. The red-headed girl suffered infantilism and was fond of wearing diapers and drinking from a baby bottle (you probably remember that Roy had seen a baby bottle in Sherry’s purse, but had mentally written it off when he leared that Sherry had a very young nephew and niece for whom Sherry regularly babysat). At this point Sherry rushes at the kindly old warden but loses her step only to fall down the stairwell nearby and ironicly impaling herself on a broken playpen (an obvious symbol of her rejection as a toddler when she was young). As Roy looks from the stairs a breeze from the open door blows Sherry’s skirt and he briefly catches a glimpse of the diapers.
I hope this helps Candi and I hope you have learned your lesson about not reading assignments.
Sorry about all the typos in the above post (I counted seven when I just reread). I haven’t had much sleep in the last 24 hours and I had to rush off to an apointment so even if I had not been tired, I would not have done a non-rush job.
Sorry, but we don’t do homework for you here, sweetie-pie. Thread closed.
