Molly's daughter-in-law Grace is leaving, and outside, George is waiting with a car ready to take her away... for George is leaving too. But somehow, with Grace's dramatic gesture, when she tore up the check which Rosie had given her, Molly felt that all the suspicions had been wrong. We know they weren't... but at least, we know also that with the tearing of the check the whole point of Grace's plot has failed... Now listen."

Announcer close: "So the last move was with Grace... and now she's off, free, and she has her cake too."

they were questions the path to be answered well you should have asked them but you didn't you gave the questions your own kind of answers and and there were the wrong ones the two letters I mean yours and graces they came on the same day and they came from the same town why there must be a million letters mayor from New York every day by people who don't know each other just because there were two letters from a small town didn't mean grace and I knew each other you wanted us to know each other because you didn't want grace you didn't like when the beginning you were looking for excuses but you were on the same train with grey George and instead of getting off at less than better you got off the station before how does it look well if you weren't looking to see how it looked you wouldn't imagine it to mean that grace and I knew each other I had something to do in that other town and I got off I didn't even know grace was on the train only people whose minds were crammed full of suspicions would have noticed it invented it and use it against me or against their own daughter in law but you were so concerned George tokens time I only mean to tell you she won't like a strange to play when princes she got sick you wrote it more than we were worried more even than her own people worried you knew you were beside yourself and does that mean that I was vicious and wicked and bad there's my real concern for someone is helpless and unhappy as grace Mike my interest is empathy and people who want the fortunate or or happy ones on earth me that I'm no good and that grace isn't any good oh you all must have hated grace a great deal to to find even the simplest things an opportunity for suspecting her I I just the innocent victim I I was thrown in as proof oh gee
