"You know well enough.

Some one saw my husband last night.

And shut up, because if you don't I'll most certainly strangle you." "Her husband! That's a good one! As if cripples like her had husbands! If he's left you it's not my fault.

Surely you don't think I've stolen him, do you?
He was much too good for you and you made him sick.

Did you keep him on a leash?
Has anyone here seen her husband?
There's a reward." The laughter burst forth again.
