The scene is warm and cozy. There
are two lamps, two chairs, and two glasses on the table, and drinks and fresh ice ready to be mixed. MaryMaloney is at home alone, sitting
across from an empty chair and waiting for her husband to return from work.1 2 3 4
Six months pregnant and happy with
her life, Mary works on her sewing arrival. She is described in bodily terms ² in terms of her body: theSRVLPLRQ RI OHU OHMG LV ³ŃXULRXVO\

When her husband arrives home,

Contrary to their usual ritual, the
husband downs half his glass in one swallow and goes to get more, ordering Mary to sit down when she tries to help him. When he returns, his glass has even more whiskey than before. Mary tries to sympathize with the difficulty of his job as a detective, but he ignores her.1 2 3 4
Mary repeatedly asks her husband
if he would like something to eat, offering suggestions and insisting that he eat. He refuses every time, telling her again to sit down when she gets up to fetch the food. While he stares down at his now empty glass, Mary waits nervously and scrutinizes him as he prepares to tell her something.1 2 3 4

To do so, Mary puts the murder
weapon, the leg of lamb, into the oven and lets it cook. She then washes her hands, fixes her appearance, and practices speaking to and smiling at an imaginary Sam (the local grocer), trying to appear as normal as possible.1 2 3 4
After she has rehearsed enough,
Mary goes outside to a grocery shop
and chats briefly and casually withSam, the grocer, pretending that
she is gathering food for herPatrick (her husband) as if he is still
alive. On her way back home, Mary decides to act as if everything is normal, rehearsing her actions and reactions in her mind, telling herselfPR ³NHHS POLQJV MNVROXPHO\ QMPXUMO

she does exactly that, calling for her husband, becoming shocked at his dead body, crying, and calling for the police.Two policemen, Jack Noonan and
and friends of Patrick, arrive. Still crying, Mary tells them that she went out to the grocer and came back to find him dead. More policemen, a doctor, a photographer, and a fingerprint expert arrive, asking Mary questions but also treating her kindly. Mary recounts her story but mentions more detail, sewing, how the meat is in the oven, and which grocer she talked to. One of the detectives goes out and confirms her story with Sam.1 2 3 4
