MISS EASTWOOD. Why couldn't she have done it again? Of course, that's what someone did, isn't it? And if she could get out of the circle without our knowing it, she could get back in again, couldn't she?
(HELEN rises. MISS EASTWOOD continues with an air of triumph.)
That's what I wanted to tell you.
ROSALIE. If any one of you, or all of you, can get me out of this chair without untying me or cutting me loose, I will say that I 'ave done that murder.
(HELEN sits above table R.)
DONOHUE. Thank you, Miss Eastwood. It's only fair to tell you that there isn't a trick or an effect that these people do that the police do not understand perfectly.
ROSALIE. Is that so?
(DONOHUE goes over and examines the way in which ROSALIE is tied to the chair.)
DONOHUE. Why was she tied up?
CROSBY (down L.C.). At her own request. As Miss Eastwood says, she showed us how she broke out of the circle and then suggested that we tie her into that chair to make sure she didn't do it again.
