Jake was on his deathbed. His wife Susan, was maintaining a vigil
by his side. She held his fragile hand, tears ran down her face.
Her praying roused him from his slumber. He looked up and his pale
lips began to move slightly.
"My darling Susan," he whispered. "Hush, my love," she said.
"Rest. Shhh. Don't talk." He was insistent.
"Susan," he said in his tired voice. "I have something I must
confess to you."
"There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping Susan.
"Everything's all right, go to sleep."
"No, no. I must die in peace, Susan. I slept with your sister,
your best friend and your mother."
"I know," she replied. "That's why I poisoned you."
