In *The Westing Game*, what conclusion did the judge reach concerning Mr. and Mrs. Theodorakis?
Answer (3)
In The Westing Game, the judge concluded that Mr. and Mrs. Theadorakis were not guilty of any wrongdoing. This can be inferred from the conversation between Mrs. Peters and the county attorney:
MRS PETERS: We think she was going to-knot it. COUNTY ATTORNEY: Well, that's interesting, I'm sure. (seeing the birdcage) Has the bird flown? MRS HALE: (putting more quilt pieces over the box) We think the cat got it. COUNTY ATTORNEY: (preoccupied) Is there a cat? (MRS HALE glances in a quick covert way at MRS PETERS.)
From this conversation, it can be understood that the judge did not find any concrete evidence or reason to suspect Mr. and Mrs. Theadorakis of any involvement in the case. Therefore, the conclusion reached by the judge was that they were not involved in any wrongdoing.
The conclusion the judge reached concerning Mr. and Mrs. Theodorakis was that they were innocent and not involved in the Westing mystery. ;
In The Westing Game , the judge found Mr. and Mrs. Theodorakis not guilty of any wrongdoing, as they were innocent characters caught up in the unfolding mystery.
