Analysis of the plot The story opens on Mary Maloney. She is a devoted and loving housewife in her sixth month of pregnancy, is waiting for her husband, a police officer, to get home from work. Nothing portends trouble until returned Patrick Maloney informs wife he is going to divorce her. Mary goings to shock and hits him over the head with the frozen leg of lamb. The conflict between the couple is not only one here. Mary realizes what she has done and makes an alibi. She puts the meat in the oven and goes to the local grocery store to get peas and potatoes and tell Sam, the grocer, what she is cooking for a supper.
