Read the extract below. Sheila: (Bitterly) You were the wonderful Fairy Prince. You must have adored it, Gerald. Gerald: (Quietly) Sheila, I didn’t… Sheila: (Cutting in, as he tries to speak) You were the owner of the Palace Bar – and Eric’s also, apparently – Eric: (Miserably) Yes. Sheila: (To Eric) So that’s where you got your alcohol from. And that’s where you met this girl – wasn’t it, Gerald? Gerald: Yes. Sheila: (Triumphantly) So you knew her all along. And you never said a word. You just sat there and let us all go on. And then you tried to make out that the whole thing was a joke. Inspector: (Sharply) That’s enough, Miss Birling. Let’s get back to the point. Sheila: What point? Inspector: The point is that you all share a part of the responsibility. Sheila: (Suddenly serious) Yes, I suppose we do. But it's not the same for all of us.
