Does the truth come out in the end?

While Ana lay on her deathbed her husband Chip maintained a constant vigil by her side

As he held her fragile hand his warm tears ran down his face splashed on to hers and roused her from her slumber

She looked up and her pale lips began to move slightly "My darling Chip " she whispered

"Ssshh" he said tenderly "Don't wear yourself out by talking Go back to sleep "

But she was insistent "Chip " she gasped " I must talk There is something I must confess to you "

" There's nothing to confess " replied Chip between sobs " It's all right Everything is all right now Go to sleep "

" No my darling " she persisted " I need to die in peace I have to confess my sins It pains me to say it but I had affairs with your best friend your brother and your father "

Chip mustered a pained smile and gently stroked her hand " Hush my darling " he said " Don't worry

about it I know all about the affairs Why do you think I poisoned you "
