Annotated text:
The girl had left Henry by this time, thank
God. She was an obvious whey-face. She didnt
seem capable for a moment of understanding
those first two killings of his. He was being a
dear. He had sent the rectors aunt away, as he
explained to the girl, like a bee with a sore
bonnet. A foreign touch. Killing time, yes. I was
doing that. It was funny how idly the mind
worked ; or seeming idly. Perhaps there was
something in heredity after all. I pondered to
its direction. An accent was a terrible thing, I
thought. Killing timewouldnt be so good. I
realised that I was impressionable, that I liked a
good murder. But Hodge, once settled, wasnt
in the least like a singer. He had a wen, and
scratched his left whisker. I supposed it would
be different to suddenly develop a wen for
someone. Different and messier. He asked me
about Ben Wade, hitherto merely mutely
unemployed, and of course I said the right
thing.
