- Hullo Darling.
- Hullo Darling!
- What is it darling?
- I've got something to tell you.
- The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight-hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the sideboard behind her, two tall glasses, soda water, whiskey. Fresh cubes in the Thermos bucket. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come from work. (Dahl, 1)
- Alright. So, I've killed him...
- "Hullo Darling," she said."Hullo Darling," he answered.(Dahl, 1)
- Is he dead?
- I'm afraid he is.
- "Listen," he said. "I've got something to tell you." "This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I'm afraid," he said. "But I've thought it a good deal and I've decided that the only thing to do is tell you right away. I hope you don't blame me too much." And he told her. (Dahl, 2)
- Probably right under our very own noses. What do you think Jack?
- Whoever done it, they're not going to be carrying a thing like that around with them longer than they need.
- 0 At that point, Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause, she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head. (Dahl, 3) 2
- The car came quickly, and when she opened the front door, two policemen walked in. She knew them both-she knows nearly all the men at that precinct-and fell right into a chair, then went over to join the other one, who was called O'Malley, kneeling by the body. (Dahl, 5)
- "Would you do me a small favor-you and these others?""We can try Ms. Maloney.""Well," she said. "Here you all are, and good friends of dear Patrick's too, and helping to catch the man who killed him. You must be terribly hungry by now because it's long past your suppertime, and I know Patrick would never forgive me, God bless his soul, if I allowed you to remain in his house without offering you decent hospitality. Why don't you eat up that lamb that's in the oven. It'll be cooked right by now." (Dahl, 7)
