Helen Ransome is married to a dull, boring, husband called Henry, and she decides that to get away from the crushing boredom to take a lover called Edward Jameson, her alibi being her demure and shy friend named Emily Jennings. Things take a dramatic twist, however when on television, Helen sees Jameson-s car in a bad crash.Helen drives in a frenzy to the hospital and whilst she is there, who should turn up but Emily. Who has also seen the TV programme and is anxious to know about Jameson-s condition. Helen is profoundly shocked when, Emily, too admits to being Jameson-s lover. Jameson-s was not Helen-s exclusive lover, after all, but a lecherous womaniser. The biggest surprise, however, comes with the last two words of the story.
