Question

Why does Inspector Dede arrive at Dancy's house?
How does Mabel try to stall him?

Answer 1

A warrant had been issued against Dancy and Inspector Dede has come to arrest him. First Mabel lied by saying that Dancy must have left. But when Dede saw the bedroom door and moved towards it, Mabel tried to persuade him by saying that if he and his wife were in a similar situation, what would he do. Then she requests on behalf of two whole lives to come back in half an hour, which the Inspector denies.
