"Rupert. Do you remember your chest complex, Brandon?
Brandon. My chest complex?
Rupert. Yes. Whatever the story was - piratical, detective, murder, adventure or ghost - it always contained a marvellous dénouement with a bloody chest containing corpses. You had a perfect mania for it, don't you remember?"
Patrick Hamilton, Rope: a Play, Act II, 3.ª ed. (reimpr.), London: Constable & Co, 1947, p. 45.
