"No Exit" P28

you’ve got it all wrong you two he wanted me to have a baby so there

and you didn’t want one

I certainly didn’t…it pleased him no end having a daughter it didn’t please me

and then

there was a balcony overlooking the lake…he was leaning over the balcony and he saw the rings spreading on the water-

yes and then

that’s all I came back to Paris and he did as he wished

you mean he blew his brains out

it was absurd of him really my husband never suspected anything oh how I loathe you

nothing doing tears don’t flow in this place

poor child so the hearings over but there’s no need to look like a hanging judge

a hanging judge id give a lot to be able to see myself in a glass how hot it is oh sorry

don’t bother you can stay in your shirt sleeves as things are-

just so you mustn’t be angry with me Estelle
