Mrs. Hale [looking about]. It never seemed a very cheerful place.
County Attorney. No—it's not cheerful. I shouldn't say she had the homemaking instinct.
Mrs. Hale. Well, I don't know as Wright had, either.
County Attorney. You mean that they didn't get on very well?
Mrs. Hale. No, I don't mean anything. But I don't think a place'd be any cheerful for John Wright's being in it.
County Attorney. I'd like to talk more of that a little later. I want to get the lay of things upstairs now.
[He goes to the left, where three steps lead to a stair door.]
Sheriff. I suppose anything Mrs. Peters does'll be all right. She was to take in some clothes for her, you know, and a few little things. We left in such a hurry yesterday.
County Attorney. Yes, but I would like to see what you take, Mrs. Peters, and keep an eye out for anything that might be of use to us.
Mrs. Peters. Yes, Mr. Henderson.
