Mr Mloney Questions
Reflection questions:
In the opening paragraph, there is a very peaceful and ordinary scene set by the author.
This scene is set with the description in the paragraph. “Warm and clean” is how the room is described and the drawn curtains implies a relaxed, safe atmosphere. With the soda water, whisky, and ice cubes ready, it is obvious that they were planning to have a very stress-free afternoon. An image of a very sunny day is given because the room is warm and the curtains would not be drawn if there is not a sunny day. Three adjectives that would describe the mood and atmosphere would be relaxed, serene, and ordinary. 2.

Mrs. Maloney suddenly murdered her husband without thinking too much about it, which is a very impulsive thing to do. She is also deliberate with her very elaborate scheme to make sure she get caught. Finally she is persuasive as she was able to persuade the detectives to eat the murder
