  • Meet Mary Malone- Husband Killer
  • I can't believe I got away with it! And they are eating the murder weapon!
  • Meet Babysitter Jo- Recent Rattlebag
  • You need to stay calm. We don't want to trigger suspicion.
  • Help me! I'm not quite sure what has happened to me!
  • Babysitter Jo Needs Advice!
  • I've always just followed along, assuming nothing evil would happen!
  • Mary Malone steps into her kitchen, sweating from the stress of pulling off the murder of her husband, but very happy. Then, someone knocks on the door.
  • Let's Take a Look at the Textual Evidence!
  • After a charming conversation between the teenaged babysitter and a young boy, the babysitter takes the boy upstairs to tuck him in with a story.
  • Even though the teenager should be stronger and wiser, he tells the reader, I would have pulled away, then, if I could, but small, firm fingers pulled me forward, unrelentingly, into the dark (Gailman 5).
  • Babysitter Jo comes barging in from the house next door, looking less than alive and frantic.
  • Mary Maloney Gives Advice
  • Do not act suspicious! Carry on and act they way everyone expects!
  • Jo's past includes believing in the innocence of children and the fantasy of ghosts-- he was wrong on both of these beliefs!
  • Let's Take a Look at the Textual Evidence!
  • After the police show up to question Mary, she convinces them that she is now a grieving widow and they want to help her.
  • Without realizing that they are destroying their own investigation, Mary convinces the cops to eat the weapon. Mary says to the men, It'd be a favor to me if you'd eat it up (Dahl 10).
  • This evidence proves that the babysitter takes on an unsuspecting approach, which makes the reader be on high alert on behalf of the narrator.
  • Mary's past includes killing her husband with a leg of lamb and then serving it to the police for dinner. She effectively destroyed the evidence!
  • This evidence proves that Mary takes a more manipulative approach to life, trying to stay cool and outwit suspenseful situations.
