[first lines]

George:
Janet. Oh, Janet.

Policeman:
You knew her, Thermoman?

George:
She was my... She was someone I rescued once. What happened?

Policeman:
A cricket ball. She must have been standing by the window, watching the game in the park. Saw the ball coming towards her; her mouth dropped open in astonishment, and... [turns Janet's head to show her dead, with a cricket ball lodged in her mouth] You mustn't blame yourself, Thermoman, but if you'd been here five seconds sooner she'd be alive now. Okay. I'm finished.

Cricketer:
Can we have our ball back, then?
