The Most Memorable Day Of A Wedding

As represented through Patrick’s stern attitude that evening, bad news was set to come Mary’s way. As a matter of fact, Patrick wanted to divorce his wife, but would still provide money and other forms of support. This news came to complete shock to Mary as she was “...watching him with a dazed horror as he went further and further away from her with each word”(Line 105-107). In fact, “her first instinct was not to believe any of it, to reject it all”(Line 113). As many know and understand, grave news can cause a great deal of damage to one’s mental health.

According to the police department, Patrick came home soon after 5pm and was waiting for dinnertime,when his wife Mrs. Mary Maloney left for the grocery store across the street to get some vegetables for no more than twenty minutes and came back home to find her husband dead on the living room floor. “The neighbors didn't witness the attack on Mr. Maloney. stated detective “O'Malley.

The reader has the one piece of information Patrick does not have, that Mary Maloney is behind him about to hit him with a leg of lamb. This makes the reader feel surprised because when Mary was waiting for her husband she was so excited but then just minutes later she ends up killing him. Second, just a little bit after the last event, some of the detectives that came over went out to talk to Sam, the grocer, about the case and when the came back to Mary Maloney’s house, Mary overhears them talking about how she could never kill her husband. While Mary Maloney is grieving the death of her husband, “she heard a few of the whispered phrases- ... acted quite normal … very cheerful … wanted to give him a good supper … peas … cheesecake … impossible that she …”

The Story begins with a relaxed, and patiently waiting Mary who is “curiously peaceful”, and “ satisfied to sit quietly” while she waits for Patrick to finish his drink, as she does daily (Dahl 1). When Mary speaks to Patrick, he is short with her, though his attitude is evident to the reader, Mary is oblivious to it until Patrick firmly, yet calmly tells her to “ Sit down...Just for a minute, sit down” (Dahl 1). His seriousness frightens Mary and catches her off-guard as she has already noticed that Patrick is deviating from their normal routine.

Mrs. Maloney gets away with the murder in the end. This caused by a revolting ending in which he police detectives eat the leg of lamb that was used to kill Patrick. The writer creates an unbelievable ending by making the story, up to the murder, set in a very normal family house. It is not somewhere you would associate with a morbid killing. The writer builds up an impression that the marriage may not be as good as it could be, and both were under strain not to release the tension onto each other.

Mary loves her husband Patrick with all her heart. When he gets home every day she takes care of him and gives him anything that he wants to keep him happy. She greets him and kisses him. She accounted that this was her favorite time of day. “She loved the warmth that came out of him when they were alone together.” She would never even think of harming him in her right state of mind.

But at the end, miraculously, they succeeded in coming together to reestablish the harmony that they may have lost forever—and Patrick can be entirely credited for this. The past event of Marianne’s rape transformed him into an emotional, somewhat sensitive adult, enlightening him to the importance of family. At the reunion, Patrick “let his hand fall on my (Judd’s) shoulder. Brotherly, affectionate” (Oates Loc 8674), illustrating the strengthened bond between the two brothers which would have been unimaginable a decade ago. Without Patrick joining in on the new, intimate amelioration, it would have been impossible for the Mulvaneys to truly reach wholeness.

There’s plenty of meat and stuff in the freezer, and you can have it right here and not even have to move out of the chair’’’ (2). Mary only ever want to please Patrick. She made sure everything was perfect for him and to never do anything wrong. She could not think of anything she had done to deserve such news. She immediately rejected the news and decided to pretend as if it never happened. Patrick was behaving so cruel to her while she was being nothing but nice to him. She even continued to make him dinner and he yelled at her saying not to because he is going out. This angered Mary resulting her to hit him with the leg of lamb and kill him. This shows that Mary is a sympathetic character because she was always compliant to Patrick. He had no right to disrespect her as he did.

While doing her everyday routine, and waiting for her husband little did she know this would be his last day coming home. At about ten minutes till five she heard Patrick’s car arrive. Marry started her day like any other sewing and greeting Patrick at the door. After she poured him a drink he finished it fast and got back up to get another. Patrick then told Mary he was leaving her for another woman, in this case she had a sudden reaction. With all the opportunities present, she did something she never thought she would do. She killed her husband with malice causing her to be guilty of second degree murder.

At first glance, the woman on trial today seems caring, but looks can be deceiving. Mrs. Maloney’s demeanor portrays innocence, but this woman is maniacal. I bet the jury is wondering why and how an frail, sweet, and seemingly loving housewife could kill the love of her life. The death of Mr.Maloney only has one logical explanation. The vile housewife went to the store after she killed Patrick, even though she claims she went to the store and then found her husband dead.

And as time went by Mary and Mr.Cart sat thier up a booths at the “Spring Fling “ and fell in love . “You're a beautiful woman I admired your strength “,said Mr .Cart . “Well, thank you Mr.Cart” , said Mary . As time aged Patrick who is know as Mr.Cart dated Mary for about a 1 year, and Patrick moved in . A year later they were married. Mary Monley was now know as Mary Monley Cart . PJ name was also changed to Patrick Monley Cart . By this time PJ was six years old ,and Mary was 5 months pregnant. Mary still has “bloody hands”, but after marriage for the second time she let all over her guilt go and is a free woman is her eyes . Life and time raced faster and PJ is 17 years old and he feels the need to get a job. “Why? A job” said Mary “But mom i want a life “ said PJ. “ Patrick Cart the S-E-C-O-N-D-DDD, DON'T START”,yelled Mary .

Pat Armstrong and Sasha Compton were very suprising when they got home from work on Friday. The first thing they were noticed was that all the dishes had been washed and the floors had swept. They then saw that dinner had been cooked and was ready for them on the table. There were even candles and wine. They were heard music on the stereo, but they didn't see anyone in the house. All of a sudden, their two children jumped out of the hall closet and yelled, "Surprise!" They immediately knew that their kids were remembered their wedding anniversary.

It all starts off with Mary Maloney waiting for her husband to come home from work. Patrick works as a detective. As she prepares for Patrick to get off work, it states, “She merely wanted to satisfy herself that each minute that went

He knew that he shouldn’t have gone to that party. In the end, going to the party caused him more trouble than good. The next dreadful decision was them getting married right away. Since they are from different families they must get married in secret.
