Of course I'll give you money and see you're looked after.

I'm going out . . .
[D0] they kill them both - Mother and child?
Mary Maloney worshiped her husband, so it came as quite a shock that he would be leaving her and their unborn child.
"Hullo Sam. I want some potatoes, please. Yes, and I think a can of peas."
She took a frozen lamb leg from the freezer, and promptly struck him with a blow from behind. He fell to the floor, dead.
After her crime was committed, she pondered the consequences of her actions on her unborn child.
I think we're right on the premises.
Probably right under our noses . . .
Staggering up the stairs, she sat on her bed. To her, Punishment of the child was not an option. She set a plan to protect her baby.
After practising a normal voice, went to the store across the street. Upon her return, she called the cops, acting as if someone came while she was gone.
Come quick! Partick's dead!
Although the cops searched the house, they did not see through Mary's cover-up. Worse still, they ate the murder weapon.
