Lamb to the Slaughter By: Roald Dahl THE ROOM WAS WARM and clean‚ the curtains drawn‚ the two table lamps alight hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the sideboard behind her‚ two tall glasses‚ soda water‚ whisky. Fresh ice cubes in the Thermos bucket. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come home from work.
