Chalmers probed further, "So, you sent Joseph's clothes for dry cleaning because they were wet?"
Irish smiled lightly and responded, "Every piece of my husband's clothing, even every tie, is custom-made by a luxury shop, and they are all quite expensive. Officer, you may not be aware, but such clothes are quite costly, and if they are not promptly taken care of, rain can damage the fabric. Oh, I suppose you wouldn't know since you probably can't afford to wear such expensive suits."
Chalmers' expression turned sour.
Irish intentionally made that remark, fully aware that it would embarrass Chalmers. She did so purposefully, knowing that he believed Joseph to be the murderer.
Chalmers then questioned, "But if you had an umbrella when you went to pick up Joseph, why was his body still so wet?"
