How do you think the story Lady Mary and Mr. Fox should end? Write a story (out-of-role narration) continuing from the last line of mine …

"Then I dreamt that I ran downstairs and had just time to hide myself when you, Mr. Fox, came in dragging a young lady by the hair. And the sunlight glittered on her diamond ring as she clutched the tapestry where I lay hidden, and you drew your sword, and cut off the poor lady's hand."

Then Mr. Fox fixed Lady Mary in his stony gaze and his smile broadened just a little as he repeated, in whispering voice that could scarcely be heard: "But it is not so, dear heart, and it was not so, and God forbid it should be so!" Then Lady Mary stepped closer to him, and the smile left her face, and her voice rang as she cried:

"But it is so, and it was so,

Here's hand and ring I have to show."

And with that she pulled out the poor dead hand with the glittering ring from her skirts and pointed it straight at Mr. Fox. He laughed at her, a slow dry laugh, draped his arm around her shoulders, he could feel her tense up as he clutched her arm with his other arm as he whispered into her ear; “how dare you?”- His grip tightened- “you dare tell me that …” he started walking, horribly pulling at her until she thought her arm would be pulled off completely.

“I let you under my roof, I care for you, I do my best to please you, yet you don’t want that?”

His arm that was draped over her shoulder grabbed a hunk of her hair and pulled as she whimpered in pain onto the floor. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a long piece of worn down rope, it looked as if it was used many times before.

 He seized her by the closest piece of her, her leg, then pulled until it was impossible for her to get up, she was helpless, she cried out that she should have listened to her friends, that she should have never have gone into the bar, how he was evil… how she was wrong.

He laughed manically the whole time, he tied the rope around her waist and started to drag her into the dark corridor with the horrible room that lay beyond. Suddenly the doorbell rings, he cursed under his breath as the butler grunted as if he was lifting a heavy bolder than just an almost wasted away door.
 “What do you want?” he snarled as he saw the group of friends.

 Beyond the shadows Mr Fox was hastily gagging and tying lady Mary before she could cry out to her friends. 
“Stay here, we have friends to join you.” He said calmly while wiping away the dark hairs flopping down his face, as he strolled off lady Mary began to weep wishing she had listened to her friends beforehand, she heard gunshot then silence…                                 

As the group stood there with the older brother gripping the butler in his arms Mr Fox began to clap slowly and sarcastically the youngest of the family lowered the gun, cursing that she missed. Mr Fox walked towards the group, one slow step at a time.
 “I have to congratulate you, for coming so far!”- He paused putting his hand into his pocket and pointing at them, “I have to say: you are the ones that have come the farthest to killing me!” He pulled his hand out, it came with a silver gun. “Now, sadly, it’s time to say goodbye…” he pulled the safety off-

“Wait!” cried a voice from the darkness. Mr Fox turned to see a new group of people standing behind him, the maid and Lady Mary and two police officers both holding guns, pointed at him.

“Wait…”-he thought for a moment-“No, no, you can’t do this, I am protecting myself from armed robbers! Yeah! Look, they are holding my dear butler at gunpoint, what do you think I am going to do?”

“You have the right to remain silent, we know what you’re up too!” exclaimed the one on the left.

“We know about you and all of your wives!” said the one on the right, a little sheepishly for it was his first proper “mission” as he called it.

After a few minutes of fighting the cops managed to handcuff the man, then they discovered the room of horrors (the newbie was sick in a little bag once he first saw it), then finally the pair shoved Mr Fox into the car after he shouted to the group that he would find them and kill them. Lady Mary learnt to always know who the was going to date and/or marry, but she could not sleep well for the next few months.

L Try to be more consistent with tense. Are you writing in the past or the present? My starter was written in the past, so stick to that!
