At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because she fooled the detectives by allowing them to eat the murder weapon. When Mary killed her husband by hitting his head with a lamb leg, she started plotting and scheming on how she would get away with all of it for the sake of her baby. Since she already tricked them by giving them the idea she didn't murder him, insisting on eating the lamb was a very clever move. As they ate the lamb, the detectives talk about how they think the weapon was on premises and how it could be right under their noses while Mary giggles. After the police leave the house, I predict Mary will be relieved that she didn't get caught while she cries her eyes out.
