Black Widow Page #3

All in the first month, or thereabouts.

Anything lately?

Only the attorney.

He received instructions

to convert the estate into cash...

...and to transfer the funds

to a Swiss account.

No one else in Manhattan,

not a single soul.

Everyone says the same thing.

From Chicago, no family...

...they don't know where she lived,

where she worked.

Could I have this photograph?

I'm sorry.

That must have sounded awful.

Sara, it's just that she came out of thin

air, and she vanished back into thin air.

- Well, is that against the law?

- It's odd. I find it odd.

Sam Petersen is gone.

So is all of his property, his money.

And if I loved him as much as you did,

I'd find it very odd indeed.

That's Felice Baciocchi

and her sister Elisa.

You probably looked all this up

just to impress me.

Did it work?

Well, you know, I really did wonder.

You seem almost too good to be true.

I thought of checking up on you.

Not a bad thought.

After all, I could be

practically anybody.

Dangerous not to check people out.

I did.

And what did you find?

I found that you went to Mount

Holyoke, you studied anthropology...

...and I found...

...we're a lot alike.

We like Italy, and we like coins.

And we like to live alone.

You never talk about that.

I don't know why I never married.

I have a serviceable list of reasons.

Take out my reasons

and polish them every once in a while.

I kept on growing out

in all these...

...peculiar and idiosyncratic directions.

I'd put on a little bristle here

and a bristle there...

...and sort of...

...turned myself into a porcupine.

- What?

- Well, it's just such an old joke.

How do two porcupines...

...make love?

Very carefully.

To the left, right around this corner.

You'll find it.

It's kind of you to make time

in your busy schedule for me.

No trouble at all.

So have you thought at all

about what I said?

Uh-huh. You know something?

That very same idea occurred to me

right after the funeral.

I even hired a detective.

Sent him over to Charleston,

where she said her people were at.

There was nothing at all.

No family, not even a trace.

Why didn't you come forward, Etta?

Ben was gone.

I couldn't bring him back.

I thought, "lt'll be in the papers."

I didn't want a big scandal.

Okay, about the will, Etta.

Rice Institute was the only

other beneficiary, wasn't it?

Yes. Ben was gracious and...

And I bet you wondered

if Marielle got caught...

...Rice might just take back

that little gift she gave you.

You're looking a little peaked, dear.

Can I buy you a tan?

I've been coming here about this time

of year since I was 5 years old.

And every year, when we'd leave...
