The E. L. Godkin Anniversary Gala

The year is 1860 A.D. The Literific gathers to celebrate its 10th Anniversary in its usual meeting place, Kingod Manor. It's a big event. even E. L. Godkin, the founder of the society is present. It's shaping up to be a night of merriment and copious alcohol consumption.

However, shortly into the proceedings of the Anniversary Gala L. E. Kingod, the host, collapses and dies. Now, it's up to Detective Hughronymous DuBois to find out who was responsible. 

Please enjoy: The E. L. Godkin Anniversary Gala

Speeches start at 00:37:38.
