Ulterior Motives Logic Puzzle

The Millionaire's Mansion has had a spate of burglaries over the past year and once again, at a recent dinner there, Lord Clarence and Lady Constance played host and hostess to three imposters at one sitting! They thought that they was entertaining respected personages named Jeeves, Deans and Jones, but in fact it was Larry the Thief, Babyface Hannah and Burglar Bill who sat down at the table. Posing as a famous poet, a veterinary expert and a secretary sent by a London agency, this trio of phony balonies dined in high fashion at the “Princeton” table. They had infiltrated The Millionaire's Mansion for a number of nefarious motives: one was skulking around hoping to find the Gold candelabrum, one hoped to steal away the family jewels, and one was there just for fun. From this information and the following clues, for each imposter, can you determine who adopted which alias to pose, in what role, and for what ulterior motive?

  • 1. Burglar Bill who was not "Jeeves" sat across the table from "Deans", who sat next to the person posing as the Secretary who was not Babyface Hannah
  • 2. The "Poet" was not after the family jewels and definitely not for fun.
  • 3. Larry the Thief sat right beside the imposter who was after Gold candelabrum, who sat directly across from "Jones", who was not after the Gold candelabrum
  • 4. Babyface Hannah sat next to the "Jeeves" who was there just for fun.
