The Jammer dinner was a exhilirating night. There was a lot of people of course. We had to walk up the stairs because not everyone would fit in the elevator.

As time pass, the sponsor started letting people go eat by table because it was crouded in there. The food was good, they had pasta, salad, chicken, and different sauces for the pasta. After we all ate we were told to go down stairs for the hay ride. The hay ride went around a track that had lots of different holiday lights. After the hay ride we went to go drink hot sweet chocolate with marshmallows in it. After everyone was done drinking their hot chocolate we all went upstairs again to go open our present.

What you think, Jack?" and in the other room, Mary Maloney began to giggle (p.324 ). The readers knows that the detectives are eating the evidence, which is why Mary giggles. Since the readers know and the characters do not, this is dramatic irony. In this situation, the readers feel like yelling at the detectives because the evidence is "right under our very noses." In addition, the cashier ask if she wanted to buy meat but she said "No, I've got meat thanks. I got a nice piece of lamb, from the freezer." It's ironic because the lamb isn't in the freezer like she says. In fact it has already been used as a murder weapon instead of food. This surprises the reader because Mary is able to think of an alibi immediately after she murdered her husband.
