Picking up Scene 234 where we left off:
Edith died before telling him the secret--but she did tell one of the other three! Judith and Quentin deny it, but Edward encourages Carl to speak. The Collins prankster tells them about how he was with Magda the night before, she knew the exact moment Grandmother died--and that she didn't reveal the secret to Edward--however, she said someone else knows it. She didn't tell the children, surmises Edward, or anyone outside the family, so it's one of us. Carl says, I'm not the one--why would I have told you what I did if that were so? Why not? says Edward--to cast suspicions elsewhere--I think you are sometimes crazy as a fox--it could easily be you and you know it. Carl says he'll swear an oath on not knowing the secret. Quentin suggests they get the Good Book and let Carl take the oath. This isn't a matter to be lightly treated, barks Edward. Quentin counters that it isn't a matter for a minor inquisition, either. Quentin is sure Judith knows it, and offers to let the prosecution state it's case.Judith, incensed, tells Edward to make him stop carrying on, but Edward refuses to help his sister. Quentin, getting in his sister's face, asks who in the house in the past week saw more of Grandmother than anyone else, and who did the utmost to prevent others from seeing her?--"dear Judith"? She tells Edward she doesn't know the secret. Both Quentin and Edward agree she wouldn't say if she did know. Judith had the best opportunity, argues Quentin, and she did. Judith insists she did not. Quentin points out, you never did lie very well. Indignant, Judith stands and tells Quentin, when it comes to straight-faced lying, no one can compete with you! Touche, says Quentin. Judith suggests Quentin tell Edward about his visit to Grandmother. Looking uncomfortable, Quentin says there's nothing to tell. Judith informs the others that Quentin tried to force the secret from Edith the night before. Edward demands to know if this is true. Quentin asks Judith if she feels "cleansed," now that she's done her duty? Edward demands an answer. Quentin admits it's true--it happened in a weak moment. Then Quentin must be the one, asserts Edward. Quentin doesn't follow his logic. You terrorized her, probably told her you'd kill her if she didn't tell, accuses Edward, so she gave up and told. Alas, no, the old lady wasn't afraid of dying, and didn't spill the secret, says Quentin. The siblings gaze suspiciously at each other. Edward finally breaks the silence--one of them is lying, and they won't leave the room until he learns who it is.[/spoiler]
