Roma wines hope indeed to keep you in suspense. I knew what kind of woman Norah was. The minute I laid eyes on her, she was very beautiful, equally neurotic and utterly heartless. She was the kind of woman who wants everything, gives nothing, and still thinks she's a passionate bargain for any man, completely unconscious of the fact that her only real motivation in

life is to humiliate, dominate, and finally destroy any man she can get her hands on. But that didn't matter either. You see, she had three million dollars. And I'd already made up my mind if my plans worked out then I was going to kill her.

She and Mark had given a party that night. The last of us were just leaving and you could tell then that a storm was brewing and was going to break out the minute the door closed behind us.

Goodnight, Nora Darling. Oh Evelyn, it was wonderful to have you. Darling, you know I wouldn't miss one of your parties for anything. You can always count on least one good fight. Goodnight, Mark. Goodnight, Nora.
