Act II Scene 1

Berniece rushes downstairs in a fright. She has just seen the ghost of Sutter. The ghost wore a suit and said Boy Willie’s name, leading Berniece to believe that Boy Willie pushed Sutter in that well. Boy Willie denies it as impossible – how would the ghost know who pushed him anyway, as Sutter was pushed from behind? Berniece says if it weren’t for Boy Wilie, Crawley would be alive. He scoffs and says that the way to lose the ghosts is to sell the piano. Berniece tells them to get out, and she and Doaker go upstairs.
