Murdered, says Ted.

Ted prods his chest with a thumb.
No, Raoul shoots back, better to drape your actions
in the fine regalia of justice. Invite the chicken
to a whist drive or some such, then lock the door,
dim lights, and inform him, coldly, of his crimes
and consequent punishment.
Death? says Emma.
By murder, no less, says Raoul.
