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. Mary

Maloney is at home alone, sitting

across from an empty chair and waiting for her husband to return from work.

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: the

When her husband arrives home,

Mary greets him with a kiss and an

endearment, hangs his coat up for him, and prepares drinks for them both, a strong one for him and a weaker one for herself, before returning to her sewing as he sits down with his whiskey.

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.

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.

Without warning, Mary walks up to

her husband and bashes the back of his head with the frozen leg of lamb, which the narrator notes is as effective as a steel club. The few seconds before crashing to the floor.

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.

After she has rehearsed enough,

Mary goes outside to a grocery shop

and chats briefly and casually with

Sam, the grocer, pretending that

she is gathering food for her

Patrick (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 herself

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.

After nearly three hours of searching,

the four remaining policemen have had no success finding the weapon.

It is late, and they are now tired,

frustrated, and hungry. Mary asks

Sergeant Jack Noonan for a drink,

and he complies, pouring her a glass of whiskey. Mary insists that he also have some whiskey, and he agrees, the rules. The rest of the men are also persuaded to have a drink, and though they are uncomfortable, they try to console Mary.
