Sheila: you see, I feel you're beginning all wrong. And I'm afraid you'll say or do something that you'll be sorry for afterwards.
Gerald: no. she only had a port and lemonade – or some such concoction. All she wanted was to talk – a little friendliness – and I gathered that joe meggarty's advances had left her rather shaken – as well they might-- Inspector: (sternly to them both) You see, we have to share something. If there's nothing else, we'll have to share our guilt. Sheila: (staring at him) yes. That's true. You know. (she goes close to him, wonderingly.) I don't understand about you.Sheila : ( half serious, half playful ) Yes – except for all last summer, when you never came near me, and I wondered what had happened to you. Inspector: Yes. I think she went away – to be alone, to be quiet, to remember all that had happened between you.
Sheila: No, not really. It was my own fault. (suddenly, to Gerald) All right, Gerald, you needn't look at me like that. At least, I'm trying to tell the truth . I expect you've done things you're ashamed of too. Mrs Birling: i'm glad to hear it. Though I must add that it seems to me that we have more reason for taking offence.

Birling: I thought you must be. I was an alderman for years – and lord mayor two years ago – and I’m still on the bench – so I know the brumley police offices pretty well – and I thought I’d never seen you before. Birling: Oh – come come – I’m treating Gerald like one of the family. And I'm sure he won't object. Inspector: And so you used the power you had, as a daughter of a good customer and also of a man well known in the town, to punish the girl just because she made you feel like that? Mrs Birling: Eric? Oh – I'm afraid he may have had rather too much to drink tonight. We were having a little celebration here--
Eric: (suddenly bursting out) I'm sorry – but you see – we were having a little party – and I’ve had a few drinks, including rather a lot of champagne – and I’ve got a headache – and as I'm only in the way here – I think I'd better turn in. Gerald: no. I wasn't telling you a complete lie when I said i'd been very busy at the works all that time. We were very busy. But of course I did see a good deal of her. Inspector: (steadily) That's more or less what I was thinking earlier tonight when I was in the infirmary looking at what was left of Eva Smith. A nice little promising life there, I thought, and a nasty mess somebody's made of it. This is the Agreement for accessing CGP Online Editions (the Service).

Actually I've never seen much of him outside this house – but- well, I have gathered that he does drink pretty hard. Birling: ( with marked change of tone ) Well, of course, if I’d known that earlier, I wouldn't has called you officious and talked about reporting you. You understand that, don't you, Inspector? I thought that – for some reason best known to yourself – you were making the most of this tiny bit of information I could give you. I'm sorry. This makes a difference. You sure of your facts?
