My name is
Victoria Winters. Long weeks ago, a sudden death occurred near Collinwood, a
death I now suspect was murder. I thought I knew the identity of the murderer,
only to find new evidence—evidence that points to a member of the Collins
family.
Vicki questions Carolyn about
the pen.
Carolyn thinks it’s unlikely to be found again.
But the important
point is that Burke gave her an expensive gift.
Doesn’t that prove something?
Vicki says she’s sure Burke
likes Carolyn.
She’s a very attractive girl.
Maybe Vicki’s been unfair to
Burke.
Carolyn is surprised by the
sudden turnaround. (Hey, Carolyn, you do it all the time.)
Vicki says she’s not afraid of
Burke.
She has no reason to be.
Vicki just doesn’t want Carolyn
to get in trouble with her family over seeing Burke.
Carolyn doesn’t plan to tell
them.
Vicki thinks they’ll hear about it. It’s a small
town.
Carolyn says she’ll deal with
that when and if it happens. She asks Vicki not to say anything.
David comes in and says that
he’ll tell Roger and Roger won’t let Carolyn go.
It isn’t fair how she gets to
see Burke Devlin and he doesn’t.
David leaves and Carolyn says what
a monster he is and that she wishes he’d never come to live there.
Vicki asks to borrow Carolyn’s
car. Carolyn agrees, with the caveat that Vicki has it back before it’s time
for Carolyn to meet Burke.
Vicki arrives at Burke’s hotel
room, to his surprise.
She tells him she thinks it’s
possible Roger killed Bill Malloy and explains about the pen.
Burke realizes Vicki thought he murdered Bill, and that’s why she
didn’t ride back from Bangor with Burke.
She says the pen is missing.
Burke thinks she should change
her testimony about when Roger left the house.
She says she isn’t sure what
time that was.
Roger arrives home and David
tells him that Carolyn made secret plans to meet Burke Devlin tonight.
Roger goes up to Carolyn’s
room to talk to her.
Vicki tells Burke she thinks
Carolyn accepted her explanation that she just wanted to help Carolyn look for
the pen.
She says she’s not sure that
Roger killed Bill.
She does think there’s a good chance, but that won’t be good
enough for the sheriff.
Burke admits she’s right. “The
sheriff wouldn’t believe Roger killed Malloy if he saw him do it on Main Street
with a butcher knife at high noon.”
But they have to do something.
Burke says they’ll have to
wait to go to the sheriff while they find more evidence. Roger probably stashed
the pen somewhere.
Vicki says maybe they could find
it.
She’s scared, though.
Burke
says she’ll be perfectly safe as long as Roger doesn’t suspect.
If he didn’t
think she’d be safe, he wouldn’t let her go back there.
Roger forbids Carolyn to see
Burke.
Carolyn says he can’t forbid her to do anything.
Burke asked her to
dinner and she’s going.
Roger says Burke is out to
destroy the whole Collins family.
“He’s not out to destroy me!”
Carolyn says. (So, to be clear, it’s okay if he’s trying to destroy your
family, as long as you’re left out of it?)
Roger says Burke is dangerous.
Carolyn says that’s what Vicki told her. But she didn’t listen to her, and she’s
not going to listen to Roger.
She tells him Vicki changed
her mind anyway, after Carolyn told her about the silver filigree pen.
What else did she tell Vicki
about the pen?
That Roger took it away from
her and lost it. Is there any reason she shouldn’t have told Vicki about the
pen?
