On Friday evening the guests (arrived). Although Charlotte (had spend) most of the day shopping and cooking, she (looked) lovely. After the first course (had been eaten) she (went) into the kitchen to get the roast turkey which (had been taken out) of the oven just before the soup (was served). But something terrible (happened). Smudge, their cat, (was enjoying) his own Christmas dinner. In fact he had already (eaten) most of one leg and was now (starting) on the other. Charlotte immediately ( kicked) him out into the garden and then ( wondered) what she (should do) next. She certainly (did not want) to ruin the meal which (had taken) her hours to prepare, so she (decided) to keep quiet. She (cut) the turkey in the kitchen so that no one (would see) the damage that Smudge (had done).
The turkey (was) a great success, so by the time Charlotte (went) into the kitchen to make coffee she had completely (forgiven) Smudge, and (opened) the back door to let him in again. But something even worse than before (happened). There, on the doorstep, (was) the dead body of poor Smudge. Charlotte (was shocked), as she (realized) what (had happened). Smudge had obviously ( died) of food poisoning ... and their guests (had been eating) turkey too!
They (told) their guests the whole story. They all (agreed) to go to the hospital. After the unpleasant operation in the hospital they (went) in through the back gate to pick up the body of Smudge but the cat (had disappeared).
