sheriff. nothing here but kitchen things.

(the county attorney, after again looking around the kitchen, opens the door of a cupboard closet. he gets up on a chair and looks on a shelf. pulls his hand away, sticky.)

county attorney. here’s a nice mess.
(the women draw nearer.)

mrs. peters (to the other woman). oh, her fruit; it did freeze. (to the lawyer). she worried about that when it turned so cold. she said the fire’d go out and her jars would break.

sheriff. well, can you beat the women! held for murder and worryin’ about her preserves.
