Context Clues  The women take what they discover quite seriously, although the men speak facetiously about it.  Because they cannot see the importance of small details, the men lack any real comprehension of Minnie Wright’s motives.  Can you imagine the men’s abashed reaction if they had discovered that there were important clues in the kitchen?
