"it's me, Stephen," sshe said, :"Anna Harland, open the door please, I want to talk to you."
The door open, and Stephen looked out slowly "Anna, what are you doing here at this time. It's --"
Anna walked quietly into the room, "Yes, it's half past four, Sarah is in court again at ten o'clock, I need your help young man, please get up!"
"what can I do?"

Anan was cold and angry," I see, well, can you and I help her then? tell me Stephen, what do you know about Hassan?"
"Hassan?" Stephen said angrily, " Well, we met him in Australia, and Sarah went away with him, she doesn't understand him but I do— He is a rich young man with a beautiful body, he likes playing with girls, but he does not love Sarah!"
"Do you love her, Stephen?"
"Yes, Mrs. holland, of course, I love her!"
Anna asked quietly:"Did you go to their house in Australia the night before they came to this country?"
Stephen looked out at her, "I went to their hotel, I asked Sarah to leave Hassan and come back to me--- but how did you know that?"
"Sarah told me, of course. Was Hassan there?"
"No he---Stephen stopped, then he said,"Why do you ask?"
Anna opened her handbag," Look at this, What is it? Do you know?

" That's right , a policeman gave it to me and he took it from a man, you met that man last night . You give him ten tubes of tooth paste, what was in those tubes of tooth paste Stephen?"
Stephen said nothing, he looked at the tooth paste, and stood up, but Anna is between him and the door, He began to move to the door, Anna took his arm :"You don't love Sarah , you hate her because she left you. You put three of these tubes in Sarah's bag, and your phoned the police, You told them about the tubes in my daughter's bags, You wanted sarah to die--"
