Shawn Early. You don't know, I suppose, that the body was found in the Five Acre Meadow?
Bartley. The Five Acre Meadow!
Tim Casey. It is likely you don't know that the police are after the man that did it?
Bartley. The man that did it!
Mrs. Tully. You don't know, maybe, that he was made away with for the sake of Kitty Keary, his wife?
Bartley. Kitty Keary, his wife! [Sits down bewildered.]
Mrs. Tully. And what have you to say now, Bartley Fallon?
Bartley [crossing himself]. I to bring that fork here, and to find that news before me! It is much if I can ever stir from this place at all, or reach as far as the road!
Tim Casey. Look, boys, at the new magistrate, and Jo Muldoon along with him! It's best for us to quit this.
Shawn Early. That is so. It is best not to be mixed in this business at all.
