Page "Entertaining Mr Sloane" Paragraph 7

Upon finding his dead father, Ed is initially insistent that justice be served and Sloane be turned over to the police.

However, Sloane persuades Ed to fabricate a story to make the death appear an accident, in exchange for his servitude.

When Kath discovers the dead body, she is apprehensive to stray from the truth especially given Sloane ’ s intention to go and live with her brother.

Sloane finds himself in a predicament: if he stays with Kath, Ed will report the murder to the authorities, and vice versa if he choses to leave with Ed.

Ultimately, a compromise is reached that will result in the pair ‘ sharing ’ Mr. Sloane a few months at a time.
