The document summarizes a story told by a woman named Mary about her husband Patrick. Mary claims that Patrick was too tired to go out for dinner so she put a leg of lamb in the oven to cook. When she returned from the grocery store, she found the lamb lying on the floor. The writer believes Mary is cold, calculating, and refusing to take responsibility for murdering her husband, as her story does not add up.

The Leg of Lamb (p. 74 and 75) 1. What’s the story Mary comes up with? 2. What’s your opinion on Mary? 1. Mary said Patrick had come in and she was sewing. He was tired, so tired that he hadn't wanted to go out to dinner. She recounted how she had put the meat in the oven, "it's already there, cooking," and how she had gone to the grocer for vegetables and came back to find it lying on the floor. 2. I think Mary is very cold, calculating and refuses to face the murder she committed.
