【And Then There Were None】

Ten little solider boys went out to dine
One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little solider boys sat up very late
One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little solider boys traveling in Devon
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little solider boys chopping up sticks
One chopped himself in half and then there were six.

Six little solider boys playing with a hive
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little solider boys going in for law
One got in chancery and then there were four.

Four little solider boys going out to sea
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little solider boys walking in the zoo
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little solider boys sitting in the sun
One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little solider boy left all alone
He went and hanged himself ...

And then there were none.
Frank Green, 1869

【Chapter 01】

In the corner of a first-class smoking carriage, Mr. Justice Wargrave, lately retired from the bench, puffed at a cigar and ran an interested eye through the political news in the Times. He laid the paper down and glanced out of the window. They were running now through Somerset. He glanced at his watch - another two hours to go.

He went over in his mind all that had appeared in the papers about Soldier Island. There had been its original purchase by an American millionaire who was crazy about yachting - and an account of the luxurious modern house he had built on this little island off the Devon coast. The unfortunate fact that the new third wife of the American millionaire was a bad sailor had led to the subsequent putting up of the house and island for sale.

Various glowing advertisements of it had appeared in the papers. Then came the first bald statement that it had been bought - by a Mr. Owen. After that the rumours of the gossip writers had started. Soldier Island had really been bought by Miss Gabrielle Turl, the Hollywood film star! She wanted to spend some months there free from all publicity! Busy Bee had hinted delicately that it was to be an abode for Royalty??! Mr. Merryweather had had it whispered to him that it had been bought for a honeymoon - Young Lord L... had surrendered to Cupid at last! Jones knew for a fact that it had been purchased by the Admiralty with a view to carrying out some very hush hush experiments!

Definitely, Soldier Island was news!
