Theory ? Hadn't it been said to BW who then told AE ? However,the theory worked,didn't it ?
Why would saying it to anyone make it more than a theory? Supposing the theory of evolution had never been spoken about? The more I think about those words, the more convinced I am that they weren't the words of someone who had killing in mind. They sound more like someone who was thoroughly fed up. Maybe, just MAYBE, she was fed up with having June's thoughts of how she should live her life rammed down her throat. MAYBE June had bought BW into the conversation and the pair of them had been having a go at her. We don't know the full story, ie what led up to the statement OR what were June and BW's reaction to it.
