1. The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight- hers and the one by the empty chair opposite.
2. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come him from work.
Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come.
3. she was cheerful, always happy, helpful.
4. She noticed there was a little muscle moving near the corner of his left eye.
It occurred to her that perhaps he hadn’t even spoken, that she herself had imagined the whole thing.
as you can see she really sees the little details of her husband.
5. at first i thought, oh what a lovely couple but as i kept reading, everything kept getting darken and darker, i honestly think their way to lead life isn’t something normal, not for what i saw.
6. it might be anything, in my opinion he maybe told her about something he did and he was in big trouble, it might be that because her body language was horrific.
7. she goes numb, she’s calm but horrified.. i guess she wasn’t thinking straight at the moment.
8. She eventually killed her own husband.
9. “So there it is,” he added. “And I know it’s kind of a bad time to be telling you, bet there simply wasn’t any other way. Of course I’ll give you money and see you’re looked after. But there needn’t really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn’t be very good for my job.”
10. A leg of lamb.
