He wasn't STILL the butler!! He was the butler then - went to jail for life and all that.
As far as it being his body, well, that's a plot twist for you. Don't you just hate when the story tries to get all mysterious and leave these unanswered questions? How DID the butler make Lizzie think he was dead??? Ooooohhhhhhhhh...
Sorry, I just figured its such a cliche for stories/movies to try to do something like that, that I had to go for it in the most ridiculously way possible:)
*Just saw your last post MsAng...can't wait to see the epilogue!*

(Two people said that the body WAS the butler, so there!) Let's see how weird I can make this:
The father said Lizzie was killed by the butler- but was she? the night Lizzie died, she heard a bloodcurdling scream, just like in the story. This is what had happened...
Lizzie's father had found her and the butler in an amorous embrace (he was a young Butler) and had fired him on the spot. The butler was to leave the next day. Lizzie went to her room, crying. She went to the pantry to make amends, but found the butler with the scullery maid. In shock, she went to the kitchen and found a knife. going back to the butler and the maid, she stabbed and killed him. she went to the kitchen and washed her hands and the knife, and calmly searched for a snack(she did not know what she had just done). There were some of her father's favorite cookies set out on a plate, so she ate them. Wht she didn't know is that the butler had poisoned them, hoping to kill her father with them the next morning. So she went back to her bed and died in it. The poor scullery maid had fainted when Lizzie killed the butler, and when she roused to find his dead body on her, she screamed. Covered in blood and crying histerically, she sought the nearest escape- the library window. So there lay the butler in his own blood, and Lizzie dead in her own bed. Her ghost 'awakens' every night to the scullery maid's scream and tries to solve the mystery of the murder she herself committed. Her father's idea that "The Butler did it" was the only way he could keep his sanity, rather than figure out the mystery. And it's also the only way I can end this junk and get back to work! And no crap about ghosts and the time-space continuum or anything like that, JB. I don't even believe in ghosts!
