I don’t know which has plagued me more. His grotesque resume of crimes or their notoriety. When he mutilated that poor beggar, her backside forked through like a pastry shell, no one was more mortified than I.

(She dissolves into a spasm of tears.)
Oh, Doctor, forgive my hysteria, but I am a woman plagued!
