217 Babel Street | Margaret Beaumont
Margaret Beaumont is 61 years old and is so sick she is housebound in Apartment No 7. She passes the time reading the murder mysteries her husband Harry finds for her, or gazing out onto the beach below her front window.
"Poor girl didn't stand a chance..."
The murderer was probably a fellow archaeologist
The trick to removing unpleasantness from upholstery
Margaret forced down the painkillers
(Harry enters. Margaret is sitting by the window.)
Margaret slotted another piece into the puzzle
Blue golden sunbeams that day, that hour
Margaret can feel the waters flowing
Harry had taken to just sitting there in the cab
"Tell me stories, Harry. I want a story"
Harry took the stairs two at a time
