CRAIG’S WIFE
89

Catelle

I thought I’d like to speak to Mr. Craig first, but I don’t suppose it makes a great deal of difference.

Mrs. Craig

I thought he might be over at the garage—I wanted him myself a few minutes ago; but the maid says he isn’t over there.

Catelle

Well, I’ll tell you what it is I wanted to see him about, Mrs. Craig. I suppose you’ve seen in the evening paper about this unfortunate affair out here on Willows Avenue?

Mrs. Craig

You mean that shooting affair?

Catelle

Yes, at the Passmore home.

Mrs. Craig

Yes, isn’t that a dreadful thing!—I’ve just been reading it here.

Catelle

Yes, it’s a very sad affair.

Mrs. Craig

They’re both dead, aren’t they?

Catelle

Yes, they’re both dead.

Mrs. Craig

Isn’t that terrible. That’s what I wanted to see my husband for; I wanted to ask him if he knew that man.

Catelle

He probably did; they’re pretty well known people here in town.
