“I suspected a thing,” Claire said.<\/p>\n

“So did I,” Ethel said.<\/p>\n

“I suspected it first<\/em>,” Claire said.<\/p>\n

“We all suspected something, Claire,” Tina said. “Just not that<\/em> thing.”<\/p>\n

“Well I suspected everything<\/em>,” Claire said. “And I was right!”<\/p>\n

“Tina just told us what he did, Daniel,” Ethel said.<\/p>\n

“Oh,” Daniel said. “I wasn’t listening.”<\/p>\n

“Well you should have been listening,” Tina said. “I’m not saying it all again.”<\/p>\n

“But I was playing with the cat,” said Daniel. <\/p>\n

“That’s no excuse!” Claire said. “We were all playing with the cat and we still heard.”<\/p>\n

“Heard what?”<\/p>\n

“Heard EVERYTHING!<\/strong>” <\/p>\n
