Mrs Mangels
Jane and Harold want to know what was in the letter. Mrs Mangel says it was merely food for thought.

Mrs Mangel: I just drew his attention to a simple truth. If the house were sold I'd have to find somewhere else to live, somewhere where property values aren't as a high. Such as Queensland for example where incidentally Len and his fancy woman have made their home. I only pointed out there was every possibility that I might end up living down the road from him and since I don't have any friends there I'd have plenty of time on my hands to make his life unpleasant.
