Secretary's voice sounds like a unattractive, superstitious, desperate woman not a sexpot.The wife sounds like a good woman but has to shoot him in the end after Gerald wasted their life's savings gambling and plans on killing her to pay his gambling debt.

This is a good story of how you have to sit back and stop yourself once you get in a bad situation instead of continuing on a path that only gets worse and worse. This is also a good lesson as to not fall for someone much younger than yourself when there is no future in that relationship even if they flatter you.
