• [last lines] 

  Police Constable : Inspector, there were two bodies found, one was Mr Linton, the other identified as Mrs Stockley from the village.

  Police Inspector : Mrs Linton, do you know Mrs Stockley ?

  [Jean nods] 

  Police Inspector : However did the fire start, it must have been lightening.

  Jean Linton : [nods in agreement, knowingly]  Lightening, yes, lightening.

• Jean Linton : [confronting her husband's mistress]  Mrs Stockley, I've come for my property, my stolen property.

  Valerie Stockley : [casually]  If you are referring to your husband he isn't here.

  Jean Linton : No I'm not referring to him, but the twenty pounds he stole from me to give to you. I've read your letter asking him for the money.

  Jean Linton : [pauses, as Valerie looks stunned]  My husband doesn't have a penny to his name . All he eats, drinks and spends comes from me.

  Jean Linton : If you had wanted the money so badly, you should have gone out to earn it.

  [pauses, looks Valerie up and down] 

  Jean Linton : You look the type.

  Jean Linton : You can keep my husband, and the twenty pounds. I'm finished with keeping him, you can support him from now on.

  [leaves through the front door, Valerie looks stunned]
