Coffee

Dead

Pinter makes it seem that Kate is possibly the one who has passed away. Ironically, it is Anna who is no longer living.

Memory

Deeley recalls a night where he looked up Anna's skirt as being quite delightful for him. He enjoyed it very much as he believed she was allowing him to do so. Ironically, Anna recalls the night as a moment of her paying for the sin of stealing from Kate by having a strange man stare up her dress. And, she remembers it as a very cold experience.

Casserole

Death

Kate describes finding Anna in one of the bed's at Kate's home. Her face is covered with dirt; ironically, Kate is quite happy to know that though Anna is dead and filthy she is covered with a clean sheet.
