Mrs. Elizabeth Peacock : [her confession] I'm glad I killed him. He deserved to die. Yesterday, I was on top of the world. I thought a wonderful man was in love with me. We were to be married; I was going to become a countess. Then... between one moment and the next, my life was shattered. I heard Blanche talking to somebody in the dining room. The voice sounded familiar but... He went into his act. It was all I could do to keep control of myself, but I had to act as if I hadn't seen through him. So I had to be cruel to Blanche. It was the only way I could keep up the pretence. Later, I sneaked back into the dining room and poured poison into the brandy. The only person apart from him who was likely to drink it was me and I didn't intend to. It was so easy to send him to his death. He was so cheap. Luxuries like the vintage armagnac were irrestible. I should have known in the way he was greedy with expensive things. I should have known. How could I have fallen for him when Mike was around?
