Question

HALE. Why, I don’t think she minded—one way or the other. She didn’t pay much attention. I said, "How do, Mrs. Wright, it’s cold, ain’t it?" And she said, "Is it?"—and went on kind of pleating at her apron. . . . And then she—laughed. I guess you would call it a laugh. How does this dialogue further develop the idea that Mrs. Wright may have had a motive for killing her husband?
