| Dec 4, 2014 at 15:47 | comment | added | Michael | I disgree with this answer. I have already confessed that I am the killer, what more do you want? | |
| Dec 4, 2014 at 1:54 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @randal'thor No fair. You didn't tell us the Lord was an expert knife thrower. There was also no blood near the switch, where the knife would have hit. | |
| Dec 4, 2014 at 1:46 | comment | added | user2705620 | i agree with @jez i do not think that the knife can be the solid evidence for the said incident | |

added joke-explanation for motive
|
| Dec 3, 2014 at 16:18 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | @jez - Sorry, I didn't give much thought to motive! Wait ... I've just had a good idea. Hope you don't mind if I edit your answer again. | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 16:08 | comment | added | jez | To clarify the logic of the previous comment: the deed could have been done with the door closed, the knife dropped, then the door opened and closed. So it didn't occur to me that "it would have been either within the room, not contained in the sweep of the door, or within the sweep of the door but on the outside, in which case it would have been swept outside by the closing door". | |

| Dec 3, 2014 at 15:58 | comment | added | jez | Oh wow. I was pretty sure of the identity of the narrator, but identifying the killer was more throwaway theatricality than a serious guess :-D The knife/door clue seems like a Holmesian stretch: a killer could have thrown it in the corner before leaving, or in haste to escape simply failed to notice the knife being swept by the door (especially if the light was turned off before opening the door). As for the switch: both stabbing (especially this kind) and door-opening can be done in the dark. But the biggest question: what was the motive? Surely it wasn't really about snow sculptures? | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 14:50 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | @User6675636b20796f7521 - Because his Lordship threw the knife at the door - or more precisely at the light switch beside the door - after he'd stabbed himself. It does all fit together! | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 14:47 | comment | added | user2705620 | @randal'thor behind the door, if the killer really wants to make it looked like it was foolishly the killer should have placed it where can it be easily found, not behind the door. and how come the knife is behind the door? this doesnt make sense.. | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 14:46 | comment | added | user2705620 | @randal'thor your statements are not connecting with each other, you said How come the knife is behind the door? If a killer dropped it as he was running out, it would have been either within the room, not contained in the sweep of the door, or within the sweep of the door but on the outside, in which case it would have been swept outside by the closing door (the door was closed when the narrator arrived) and not swept behind the door as the narrator opened it if the killer would make it look as though Gilles had foolishly dropped the knife in a mad rush to escape it should be not behind | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 14:38 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | @User6675636b20796f7521 - But this killer would be trying to make it look as though Gilles had foolishly dropped the knife in a mad rush to escape - in which case he (Gilles) wouldn't have been opening the door exactly so far. | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 14:26 | comment | added | user2705620 | @randal'thor upon opening the door before i escape i can mildly open the door where i can fit my self so that the knife would not slide so far only a bit. the narrator opened the door where in there was a knife behind. so still it wont be a valid reason to tell the the knife was behind the door because the Lord killed himself. | |
| Dec 3, 2014 at 14:24 | comment | added | user2705620 | @randal'thor i do not think honestly that the explanation you have given would give full proof that the the Lord committed suicide, first of all you have agreed that the knife was never used to kill the Lord, it was a mere distraction, if i would be the killer, as i enter the folly i would totally close the door so no one can hear the muffles of my victim, i would stab him with the icicle and then cut his arm with a knife, i am inside the folly so i can place the knife anywhere even in the back of the door, | |

| Dec 3, 2014 at 11:18 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | This is not only the correct answer, but a lovely piece of narration. +2 if I could! You exited the Folly through the north wall (being a ghost, this is fine), and saw Avigrail only after she'd come out of the door and a little way round the building towards Oblongamous. | |
