[last lines]
DCI Tom Barnaby : Bernice. Would it matter very much to you if I told you that *Harriet* Compton was not your real mother?
Bernice : Not now, no. Too late to care.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Tell me about your life before you came here, in Goodmansland.
Bernice : Ah, not much to say.
[sings]
Bernice : And the tree in the hole / And the hole in the ground...
DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, didn't they miss you when you decided to leave?
Bernice : There was only Mary.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Your adoptive mother.
Bernice : Yeah. She didn't want me to go, but she died just before I left.
DCI Tom Barnaby : What'd she die of?
Bernice : Apparently she drank something that didn't agree with her.
[sings]
Bernice : And the tree in the hole / And the hole in the ground / And the green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around. / And on this tree there was a limb / The prettiest limb you ever did see / The limb on a tree / And the tree in the hole / And the hole in the ground / And the green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around.
